Hi Guys, to keep you updated and that you know the project is still alive I want to share some development updates on regularly basis. I think I will update it monthly, it depends on how much progress YouniqMail has been made. These are not exact changelogs but kind of.
As soon as the basic mail client features are working, I will open the alpha phase that you can test and give feedback. Because I want to develop YouniqMail in close cooperation with the community, so your feedback is important and welcome.
Alright lets dive in:
I started developing in May 2025 and of course had to do all the basic stuff. Here the things that are already usable:
- Connect to IMAP accounts and "download" the mails
- So I added a Menu-Item for a setup where you can add you IMAP account. It already supports multiple IMAP Accounts.
Currently it's only a basic setup from the main menu and not a fancy Setup-Window on app start...I will add that also as soon as possible to get a better starting experience.
- For every mail account you see all associated mailboxes and see their mails (but no mailbox-subfolder-hierarchy yet. Spoiler: added this in august)
- List of every mail for every mailbox
- If you click on a mail you can see the clicked mail with its mail history in the big window on the right side
So the sync is kind of working, retrieving mail accounts, mailboxes and emails from IMAP is possible...but of course only on a very basic level. The algorithm for sticking together the mails by their history is only on a very basic level...spoiler: improved this massively in August.
