This looks pretty cool, I'm really pleased to see people writing new email clients, and you've clearly worked very hard on this!

I have a bunch of questions that I couldn't find out from the website (but are obscure enough that I shouldn't expect to):

* Is this a purely native app, or an Electron / Javascript app? Personally I'm only interested in native apps & Electron would be a deal breaker - but I'm weird, most people won't care.

* What format are you using for email archives? Mbox, Maildir? Can I import my Thunderbird / Postbox Mbox archives of 21 years of email?

* Can I turn off threaded & conversation views?

* Do you support POP3? (You only mention IMAP... I'm sure that would be fine, but I still have accounts configured via POP3.)

* Can I change priority of individual messages after they arrive? I sort my inbox by priority and then date-descending, not by date.

I'm a hardcore Postbox user and email is critical infrastructure for me, so I probably won't try it or switch anytime soon... but I'm always keeping an eye on powerful desktop email clients, in case I ever need to switch, or find something dependable that really blows away Postbox.

Well done! Looks very promising!
