Snappymail: a modern fork of Rainloop

https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail
https://snappymail.eu/

Demo: https://snappymail.eu/demo/
Under active development: https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/releases
Differences to Rainloop: https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail#modifications

Simple, modern, lightweight & fast web-based email client.
This is a fork of the much appreciated RainLoop, but with massive changes to be compatible with (mobile) browsers in 2020.

Interesting

Indeed.

Although the "info" link just links back here.

[girish]

" This branch is 1671 commits ahead of RainLoop:master. " Wow, it has seen quite some development! Has anyone here tried it ?

[necrevistonnezr]

@girish it receives almost daily commits - but never tried it. Shouldn’t it be relatively easy to package based on the Rainloop app?!

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr yes, possibly. Looks like quite compatible with Rainloop configs. Something to try for sure.

[necrevistonnezr]

@girish What’s the current easiest way to author a custom app on Cloudron? I might not be up to date…. Do I still need the docker app on Desktop?

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr You can use docker on desktop to build packages or you can use the (self-hostable) build service app. The pinned topics in https://forum.cloudron.io/category/96/app-packaging-development are a good start. Maybe https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2843/read-first-before-starting-to-package-an-app and https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3102/building-custom-packages

@necrevistonnezr You can just install this into LAMP for testing. They do NOT list cloudron integration unless the page was updated last you checked?

[girish]

@murgero It's listed here:

Installed on Lamp Stack as per https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/wiki/Installation-instructions without problems - works great. It's possible that all that's needed for packaging is taking https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/rainloop-app and doing some search&replace (?).
Seems to be really fast.
Still no search across all folders, though.

@necrevistonnezr the minimal change required to the rainloop app is the following btw.

[girish]

@fbartels thank you kindly.

I put your fix at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/snappymail-app/-/commit/058dd23710b8b80a23ac84f548739704d2539d3c . It does load really way faster now. I can publish this as unstable, just fixing up the manifest.

[robi]

They had me at Dark mode.

[girish]

I have published the app as unstable. The configs seem completely compatible with Rainloop, but I am just double checking if all the security stuff is like before. Maybe this can be tested in the meantime.

[girish]

I created a new forum section for this - https://forum.cloudron.io/category/138/snappymail . Let's discuss there.

[necrevistonnezr]

@girish Wow, that was fast - great!

[murgero]

@girish That has an "X" stating it doesn';t have integration.

I have informed him that he can change that status now….

[murgero]

@necrevistonnezr This snappymail certainly is snappy - this is because it's mobile-first now?

[girish]

@murgero not sure but there's a bunch of changes in https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail#removal-of-old-javascript and also the css changes below it.
