I'd like to love Nylas, but it's (still) really slow on my 2015 rMBP.

@nscmnto Electron should not go to production
Jesse Wallace
@nscmnto Yeah, I tried it not too long ago and it was unbearably slow. Not starter for me.
Erick Barron
@nscmnto I'm not sure what is the problem, for me it's very fast. It's way faster than Inbox.

@_yannbertrand @nscmnto Atom.io is fast on my rMBP 2012 (It's electron)
Josef
@eonpilot @_yannbertrand @nscmnto Electron is good for prototyping or creating a MVP, but not the right technology for scaling applications - even though it's widely used. It just draines our devices (RAM, CPU & battery) since it is an entire instance of Google Chrome, just for running - often very basic - applications.

It's so annoying that they don't get their newsletter right. I unsubscribed like a thousand times, even sent them two emails directly to take me off their lists, but still received the newsletter announcing Nylas 2 today. My tip: don't make the mistake to sign up or you'll be spammed until the end of time...
Justin Mitchell
@josef_moser not only that but since I synced multiple accounts to the app, I get 5 newsletters all at the same time from them
Pietz Prove
@josef_moser so its not just me
Hadi Farnoud
it uses more than 1GB of RAM. it's way too much!
Mike E
@hadifarnoud clocking in at 1.4GB after the update... wild!

Nylas comes from a pretty complicated past, with some of its best features like email snoozing and delayed sending hidden behind its paid Pro subscription. But with today's release of 2.0 those things are now free — exciting!
Jack Smith
@juanbuis bit confusing how the pricing keeps changing. first was free, then paid, now free again... hopefully it stays free this time
Alex Chau
@_jacksmith it's only partially free. There's only limited amounts of snooze (and maybe send later) there's an upswell waiting after your weekly quota is used up...
Csaba Kissi
@juanbuis What are the advantages over Polymail or Spark?
André J
@_jacksmith @juanbuis I agree. Foggy pricing models are not cool.
Stefan Miodrag
I love using Nylas, great features! Only thing lacking is the "tracking" feature - when you go back to read an email you've sent, it will say that they have opened it. Why does it track the sender?
Hadi Farnoud
@stefanmiodrag it doesn't. perhaps you opened the email somewhere else.
Stefan Miodrag
@hadifarnoud Nope, even if I open it in Nylas mail app, it will instantly give me a notification that it has been opened. I guess it's a bug then ...
Hadi Farnoud
@stefanmiodrag it is a bug. Mine works fine. I'm on the old Nylas N1 pro though
Andreas Duess
I don't get the value proposition on any of these kinds of mail clients - especially when that involves having my mail exposed to additional servers. I tried them all, tried to like them all and have always returned to gmail in browser tabs. Simple, secure and just damn works.
Florian Egermann
Worth noting: Nylas Mail connects to IMAP servers directly now, uses cloud only for a few features: https://blog.nylas.com/nylas-mai... Wonder what drove that decision? I thought the cloud infrastructure was their main product.
Shalin TJ
Gave Nylas (latest version) a try a couple of days back. Didn't work well. Was consistently getting IMAP connection errors. Wrote to team twice. Tweeted to them. All in vain. Hoping to hear back from them soon.
Philip Amour
Is it a native app yet or still a bulky chrome-wrapped web app? 😊
Josef
@philipamour it most probably still runs on Electron (consistent with the comment of @hadifarnoud on extensive RAM use); it was also ported to Windows and Linux, so it seems very unlikely that they built native apps for all platforms.
Dimitar Najdenov
Hey, I've just installed Nylas 2.0. Looks very good. I have only one issue, it does not have separate calendar so I can organize my meetings. Everything else is awesome!
Erick Barron
My new favorite email client - I will switch from Inbox. However, it does have a few things I would like improved. 1. It's hard to install plugins: I have to clone or download the zip file and then unzip it. Since it's based on atom electron, I would think it be easier to incorporate something like their plugins search function. Also, the old community plugins don't seem to work with the new version 2. 2. On Windows, the create new email icon is all the way at the left corner - making it harder to create one. Other than that, the app is great! 👍
George Norris
Getting a 'No update available You're running the latest version of N1 (1.5.0)'. It's not really clear how to DL the new version on the website either, I'm getting redirected to an API console page with DL link. When I go to home page shows a 'signed out' status.
David Carpe
@stoplion no, you need to just use nylas mail 2 and login to your account, they're dropping n1 next month
Binoy Xavier Joy
Thank you for the Less is More theme. The minimal fan in me is liking it 🙌
Alvaro Flores
still waiting for exchange support
Benjamin Lupton
I made the mistake of giving them a go. Then discovered they have access to all your emails on their servers and no way to delete your account with them, so they keep your data, and probably keep fetching it. I emailed them about this but never got a response.

Have anyone checked privacy policy? "Collection and Use of Information Information Collected or Received from You... Using the App. If you download and install the App, we’ll collect your email credentials (i.e. email address(es), which are PII, and associated passwords) for those email inboxes that you want to access through the App. By inputting your email credentials, you’re permitting Nylas to make a copy of the entire contents of the applicable email inbox, calendar, and contact book. Nylas will perpetually connect to, and synch any changes to, your applicable email inboxes." No thanks.
