Hello from the Unkai Mail build

A short note on the shape of the project, the Rust workspace, and what we're tackling first.

A quick first dispatch from the Unkai Mail build.

The project is a Rust workspace of focused crates that handle each layer of a mail client — protocol I/O, sync, storage, accounts — with Tauri 2 wrapping the UI. The aim is for each crate to be testable in isolation, so the messy parts of mail (encodings, edge-case MIME, half-broken IMAP servers) don’t bleed into the rest of the app.

What we’re focused on now

  • Improving the UI and the features we already have
  • Making the client overall more stable and mature
  • Getting a v0.1.0 on the way for you to test

We will let you know once the first installable package drops, so stay tuned.

See ya.
