I would consider using this app on my desktop instead of Thunderbird primarily due to the improved search.

After giving it a spin for 180 seconds, the main nuisance for me is that I can't elect to "Always show images from this sender". I use that in other desktop clients to ensure the image blocking banner doesn't end up being subconsciously ignored by me, as it will then only show for new senders who I'm not familiar with and need to be more wary of.

Also, like all banners everywhere no matter how well designed, it's ugly. In fact to be honest... this is the main reason I want the option to get rid of it.

I can understand why you don't offer that in the web app if you're storing it server side for each customer's list of saved senders, but for a desktop app where it can be stored locally, I'd value it.





In Settings -> Mail Preferences you can choose to: * Show images by default for everyone (the images are always proxied via our CDN, so your IP is never leaked to the sender). * Show images for contacts by default. You can easily add new senders to contacts by clicking their name at the top of the email and selecting "Add to contacts".

Thanks! I checked Settings but for some reason only the Privacy/Security section where I thought this option might be. No wonder I didn't see it.
