Voxera118123yGood luck.
For examples you could look on thunderbird. The mozilla projects email client.
Its open source and in need of help.
But some parts of it is written in c++ but i think all gui is js + html and css.
I used it for more than a decade but unfortunately I cannot use it at my current job since it can not use the proprietary outlook protocol and out exchange is not open for anything else :/ -
@Voxera I’ll definitely check it out!
I started my research yesterday, and realized how incredibly difficult this project might become considering the mail infrastructure is pretty ancient.
I’m actually thinking about another approach right now, my research showed me that Email Client UI has pretty much stayed the same for a couple of decades.
Since I do have a background in Product Design, I felt like it would be a fun experiment to take on the challenge of designing an Email Client UI.
Once that’s done, I can refocus my efforts of actually making the client. Haha -
Voxera118123y@uziiuzair good luck :)
And the big problem with emails is not that it’s ancient, its the number of involved standards.
Some 20-30 not counting the obsolete ones.
That is a lot of things to learn.
An email client (like Newton) open sourced.
