A feature that will come with version 2.0 – bundles – is already available today to users of MailMate 1.7.1 by checking an option in the app’s Preferences: once enabled, you’ll gain a menu to instantly send a message to OmniFocus or Reminders with a link included in the todo to re-open the message later on. Benny has publicly shared his roadmap for MailMate 2.0, which includes a “beautifying” the app and the addition of several features like conversation views and rules. So that’s where the crowdfunding campaign comes in. It’s not the prettiest app in the world and it lacks some useful Mail features, but it’s efficient, reliable, and nerdy.

I’m still digging into MailMate’s feature set, but I can say that I haven’t opened Mail.app in a week and I like MailMate’s power-user features a lot. There is a fantastic selection of keyboard shortcuts (with custom key bindings) to choose from.A favorite of mine is that you can do “From > Domain contains” in search and smart mailboxes Search and smart mailboxes are crazy powerful with dozens of criteria to choose from.You can write messages in Markdown with a live preview of the final result and send as rich text.With my messages copied and stored on my new IMAP server, I started appreciating the good things about MailMate: I’ve been using MailMate intensively for the past week and I’m excited for the app’s future.įirst off, unlike Apple Mail, MailMate had no trouble moving thousand of messages (MacStories’ email from 2009 to today) around mailboxes. So I backed everything up, settled with Rackspace Email, and downloaded MailMate. I wanted to regain control of my email, and the fact that Mavericks’ Mail had serious issues with Gmail wasn’t helping. Two weeks ago, I decided to start moving away from Gmail/Google Apps and go back to old-fashioned IMAP with Exchange support for iOS devices. If you want to then you can read a bit more about me and the background for this crowd funding campaign. Supporting MailMate is to support me and my family. It’s as personal a business as it can be. I take care of development, support, homepage, marketing, sales, and now, crowd funding. I don’t ever expect MailMate to become a golden egg, but I have reached a point where MailMate has to put food on the table. To you I hope MailMate is one hell of a powerful email client - an email client worth paying for. I’m an academic by heart and to me MailMate is a never ending research project filled with challenging problems. The exact period depends on daily sales, but a rough estimate is an additional month for every $5,000.

Anything beyond $25,000 increases the period I am guaranteed to work full time on MailMate. A fixed goal means that I get nothing if the goal is not reached. This requires a minimum of 6 months of 2014 and therefore I’ve set the initial fixed goal to $25,000. The goal is now to fund the time needed to finish version 2.0 of MailMate. Today, Benny launched a crowdfunding campaign for MailMate 2.0. MailMate is an IMAP email client featuring extensive keyboard control, Markdown supported email composition, advanced search conditions and drill-down search links, equally advanced smart mailboxes, automatic signature handling, cryptographic encryption/signing (OpenPGP and S/MIME), tagging, multiple notification methods, alternative message viewer layouts including a widescreen layout, and much more. Here’s a summary of the app’s features from the developer’s website: The app was initially released in 2011 and it’s been actively developed for two years. MailMate is a third-party email client for OS X developed by Benny Kjær Nielsen.
