I was really hoping this would come with an announcement of an F-Droid compatible client.

Honestly, I'm paying them and the lack of a Google-less client is really getting to me. Now that the US is openly behaving like an adversary to the EU (as opposed to pretending to be a friend), cutting the cord to the US is becoming more and more important.

If they don't release an F-Droid compatible client this year, I'm cancelling my subscription and moving to a simple SMTP+IMAP provider. Their reluctance to degoogle has rubbed me the wrong way for years now.

P.S And the fact that they stay on threads @protonprivacy@www.threads.net instead of mastodon is also another reason I want to leave.

Not f-droid (and I doubt they'll ever care to put it on there tbh) but you can just download the apk from GitHub if you wish: https://github.com/ProtonMail/android-mail/releases

I've been happy to see proton begin trending in what I see as the right direction (for me as a consumer). Between this uplift and finally talking drive for Linux it's been a happy couple of weeks.

Code is on the GitHub: https://github.com/protonmail

Cool.

Is it all in rust-mail repo?

And how much of "Rust" in this image is actually open?

I don't know what was going on behind the scenes but as a user of their mail app it felt barebones. So to see them working on a full rewrite for years instead of moving forward is kinda surprising. Like bro its a mail app features are more important than speed or memory safety.

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

Their wanting to add features over all platforms is the reason they did the rewrite. Implementing consistent features over web, Android and iOS without a common codebase is a waste of engineering time and would've led to bad quality over the years.

[–] elvis_depresley@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

to me, a reliable, and efficient mail client is more important that a bunch of features.

Just my option though.

They only just got swipe capability for going from one email to the next in the app. I'm super happy it happened but damn it took long enough.
