A grant from NLnet: A Mail Client in Six Steps

#1

Hello everyone!

I’m happy to announce that Mailpile is receiving a grant from NLnet to help bring moggie to a first public beta release. Read about the grant and the plan here: A Mail Client in Six Steps

For those of you who prefer a less chatty Github-issue style overview, that exists too: https://github.com/mailpile/moggie/issues/7

A very uninformative progress update: Mailpile 2?

Well, part 1 of the series is public! https://www.mailpile.is/blog/2023-07-13_A_Read_Only_Mail_Client.html

I wonder if anyone will read the whole thing? :wink:

What’s the status of the project?

This is the latest update I find, but it is a year old and talked about a 6 month grant.

Did the grant fell through? Is moggie anywhere close to being usable?

Thanks for all your work on this. I really like this project.

Sorry about the crazy late reply, and apologies for the silence over the last few months.

To sum up - I had a lot going on in my personal life; moved to the UK, took work to get a visa, welcomed a baby into my life, moved back to Iceland… I’ve kept working on moggie the whole time, but it became very much a part time hobby thing, and I abandoned all attempts to stick with the roadmap I’d laid out. I just didn’t have the bandwidth.

I am gradually re-emerging from this state and once I’ve spent some time figuring out where the project really is relative to what I’d announced, I’ll post some updates.

Is the original mailpile still usable or should I wait for 2.0?

Quick update for anyone else looking around mailpile does still work great! Only unusual thing I noticed is that the login is VERY slow after it’s parsed over 100k emails, but works like charm.
