@scottalanmiller i'm from Galicia in the north-west of Spain. Just above Portugal. Born in Santiago de Compostela and living in A Coruña.

Right at the end of the El Camino! My wife @Dominica and I have been planning to do that with our kids for years. They are not old enough yet, though.

Totally recommended. They say that the person at the journey always change the people for the better. Have some friend that did the walking from France, and they loved it; but kind of difficult with little children as you said.

@scottalanmiller oh i understand now. Thanks, for clarifying. . Knowing that, i would give a try hosting locally the sync-engine, since there's a docker container in order to run it, shouldn't be difficult at all.

Thanks again!

Oh, that's in the Readme but not something that they advertise as a feature of their hosted version. That means that they don't have access to an open source ActiveSync service, no one does. There is no open source ActiveSync out there. So that it is open source won't help you there. You have to use IMAP with Exchange.

@scottalanmiller then i simply don't understand why they say that the hosted version supports Exchange and open-source version does not, if both are supposed to work using IMAP. Maybe missunderstanding from my part and English comprehension, cause my english leven isn't top-notch.

@scottalanmiller said in Trying Nylas N1 email client.:

It's not like you are going secretly somewhere and trying to figure out how to acquire the open source beneath their commercial product. It's one of their two optional deploy methods promoted right on the site and they link directly to code to deploy to your own server.

I know it is open-source. Just said that on my first post. Just saying that the open-source version on their repos, is not full featured. By that i mean that the sync-engine published on github lacks the Exchange integration (as long as i could find on the docs).

Just quoting: https://github.com/nylas/sync-engine/blob/master/README.md

"The inbox-auth command will walk you through the process of obtaining an authorization token from Google or another service for syncing your mail. In the open-source version of the sync engine, your credentials are stored to the local MySQL database for simplicity. The open-source Nylas Sync Engine does not support Exchange, but the hosted version does."

@scottalanmiller yes the price its ridiculous, since for 9$/month i think you can get the full Office 365 suite, including of course outlook as the mail client.

Tha's why i was wondering if the syn-engine opensourced by Nylas got some devvelopment from the community and got exchange included by a plugin or something, since the client seems pretty decent and "modern" the only lack of functionality is the free exchange part.

@scottalanmiller thanks for the welcome message!

I'm a software ingeenier from Spain, 27 yers old, and just found this community from the nodebb community forum and searching info about a mail client on the net.

Just hanging a little bit around here from now on.

Regards!

@scottalanmiller yes it is 9$ per month now including taxes. So quite expensive.
As you said the Nylas version of the sync engine supports Exchange, but apparently the open-source version don't.

Just a pity because the mail client looked promising.

Hello!

Just saw some old threads of people giving a try to the Nylas N1 client, and instead of necroposting, just decided to start a new thread.

I'm just trying to use the N1 client, as an alternative to Thunderbird under Ubuntu 16.04. Since the client and the sync-engine are open source, i thought it would be nice to manage it myself and have both the client and sync-engine compiled from sources and running locally.

Just got the client working, but as you know it by defaults connect to Nylas own sync-engine. I was wondering, since the engine it is open source, if someone knows if there's a community-made connector to include Exchange support, since now it is the reason i'm not putting effort on hosting my own sync-engine.

I like the client, but i think the price of the subscription fee it is a bit expensive, and think a completely free alternative including Exchange integration would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.
