mail client release , intended for use in the GNOME environment. The project was originally founded by the Yorba Foundation, which created the popular Shotwell photo manager, but later the development was taken over by the GNOME community. The code is written in Vala and distributed under the LGPL license. Ready assemblies will soon be prepared in the form of a self-contained package .
The goal of the development of the project is to create a product rich in features, but at the same time extremely easy to use and consuming a minimum of resources. The mail client is designed for both stand-alone use and to work in conjunction with web-based mail services such as Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. The interface is implemented using the GTK3+ library. The SQLite database is used to store the message base, and a full-text index is created to search through the message base. To work with IMAP, a new library based on GObject is used, which works in asynchronous mode (mail download operations do not block the interface).
Key innovations:

There are currently plugins for playing a sound when sending an email, creating email templates, integrating with the Unity shell menu, and organizing mailings to address lists in a CSV file. Plugins can be activated in the new section
