Hi everybody! Francesco and Fabrizio here, we can’t quite believe we’re finally shipping the first major update to Boxy! It’s an email client powered by Inbox by Gmail, initially launched here on Product Hunt in late 2015. Me and @linuz90 have been working on it for quite a long time, and it features a completely redesigned interface, a revamped multi-account system with a new Status Bar menu, new features and themes, and lots and lots of improvements and fixes. On top of that, it’s a free update for exsisting users! 🙌 We’re so excited to finally put Boxy 2 out there, and we can’t wait to know what you think! Thanks @chrismessina for hunting us (again!) and thanks so much to our hundreds of beta testers for their invaluable help 🙏 And since we’re also really grateful to the Product Hunt community for an awesome initial launch in 2015, here are 10 coupon codes to download the app for free. 63FJWNW4TYP3 9KYT6HE3H6P4 PN4XHN7JXT9F AHYAKXMM77NW 3FEHA9LN4WMA 9XYA3T4YFEAP 3YFL79MWTA7J HTJJ9ALXLXME ARRA6EPR6LRL 4YRT6EYKPNN9 We’re also excited to launch Boxy for the first time on on Setapp, an innovative platform that applies the Netflix model to the app store. Enjoy the update!

@linuz90 @chrismessina @frankdilo Any chance of a trial?

@linuz90 @chrismessina @frankdilo Well shucks, missed out on that one. Any trials available? I'd like to see how it compares to WMail.

Code is poetry.

Pros:

Stand alone mail client for Gmail, manages different accounts, very intuitive and clean.

Cons:

None

Been waiting a long long time for v2 of this app! Super excited for it to finally launch — I use it every day!

Boxy for iOS coming soon?

@iroryd What about Inbox (the original)?
Vincent Giersch
I'm not really convinced by this app (yet): the experience really feels like a regular webpage with not so much value & features on the top. The multi accounts is 2 windows or a single windows with Cmd+X, I was expecting some tabs with the number of unread emails or something similar, right now it's little cumbersome to use. To receive notifications, the app requests a full access to the GMail accounts, are the notifications handled by the app itself, or processed on server side?

@gierschv everything is handled locally, no server involved. @frankdilo can you give you more details on that. Also, our minimalistic approach doesn’t necessarily mean that the app is simple, quite the opposite since the technical side is getting more complex, while keeping the design essential and polished – an increasingly complex task given that the interface is styled through thousands of CSS rules now. That being said, we totally understand this app is not for everyone, and we’re still planning to add features that might accommodate more users. Thanks for your feedback!
Jerry Shan
@gierschv Having the same concern here.
Steven Law
Looks great guys, thanks for the find. Just a pity there aren't 10 grateful members on PH today who already redeemed the codes!

Good support and regular updates.

Pros:

The best native Mac app for Inbox by Gmail.

Cons:

Mark as read (which, to be fair, isn't an Inbox feature) would be great.

Can you explain a bit how the multiple account system works? One of my only complaints about the Boxy beta has been the way it deals with multiple accounts. I don't like the "new windows" setup. Does V2 handle this more like traditional inboxes with some sort of meta filter? I can't really tell by the screenshot. I downloaded the beta when you first launched on PH, and check out each new version, but other folks snatched the codes too fast for me! Thanks!
Sasha Koss
@adamslieb unfortunately it's still has "new windows" setup :-(

I've been wanting something like this ever since I got my Mac last month, didn't know it existed! Purchased!
Matthew Blode
Any way to develop an "All inboxes" feature? They currently have this on the Android app and it is a glorious and super helpful feature. Or do we pray for mother Google to build on the web?
