LexiMail is a Open Source and cross-platform e-mail desktop application.

Welcome to LexiMail!

This is an early version of LexiMail, Open Source and cross-platform e-mail desktop application that's built in HTML, CSS and Node.JS.

Most of the initial layout was 'borrowed' from LightRead but the plan is to be themable in the future. No much more to see for now.

Here is a sample screenshot:

Building and Installing

grab the source and

npm install

Running

npm start

Testing

(no tests yet!)

npm test

Contributing

Questions, comments, bug reports, and pull requests are all welcome. Submit them at the project on GitHub.

Bug reports that include steps-to-reproduce (including code) are the best. Even better, make them in the form of pull requests that update the test suite. Thanks!

leximail's Issues

store emails in the desktop for offline reading

use node-mbox to store emails in the desktop for offline reading.

Encrypt User information

Hi,
Just wanted to know : how do you store the user's information, in leximail ?
I understand that you use node.js, so theoretically, the user's password is stored in one of the js files in clear (I suppose that the password must be clearly send to the server...).
I'm asking that because I'm also developing a node.js mail client ^^
Thank you in advance.

This can be based of implementation of #2.

Application crash when insert gmail account credentials.

The application crash just pressing the submit button after insert my credentials in the form. This is the output:

Support Two-Factor Authentication

Leximail is currently not usable if one is trying to login via two-factor authentication.

Here’s an excerpt from the error, which was thrown:

[FYI] Gmail API

Hi,

just in case you were living under a rock ;)

https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/

email client/tasklist hybrid app

I would prefer a email client/tasklist hybrid app. Every email should be handled like a real task if the user want.

Chrome App Version and other feature ideas

Looking through, I know there seem to be some binary dependencies... but this is the closest to a web based mail client I've seen. It would be nice if some of the binary components could be replaced with script-based ones, and any network communication and file storage could be abstracted to be able to use browser functionality.

One of the things I really see as a missing feature on ChromeOS is an email client... this could be a great option in this space.

Another option would be the use of say Dropbox' API for credential and mail storage. Started the project and will definitely look into it more.

Add support for plugins

LexiMail should support plugin mechanism loaded from external folder (ie.: user preferences)

It should be possible to support multiple layouts

Enable configuration options to hide read panel, put it on the bottom, generate a new layer containing the panel to read and write messages.
