It looks pretty freaking sweet! I don't really see why it would need indiegogo do you?  Unless I read it wrong it looks like they have a lot of features already done/being tested.  Maybe it's just me but I feel crowd funding is being used for things it shouldn't be, but who the fuck am I to decide?

And so it sounds like it's an all in one mail server/client that you run on any of your computers.  Not a bad idea.

Yeah I think a lot of things use the kickstarting just for promotion. Which is fine. Kinda. Or rather pointless to complain about.

Also I guess the devs want paying :Y

But yeah, it's way off being ready which is a shame. But if they make it, it'll be cool I think.

Yeah I suppose I'd want paid too.  So I'll forgive them this time.

Total bummer. It didn't say when they thought it'd be ready did it?  I don't think I saw any dates.

Our goal is to fund two to three man-years of full time work on Mailpile, with our first milestone inJanuary 2014, when we will deliver an alpha version with the following properties:
  • A modern, open source web-mail application which runs well either on a personal computer or in the cloud
  • An intuitive, beautiful user interface that is a joy to use
  • User-friendly support for both OpenPGP and S/MIME encryption and signatures
  • A very fast, scalable search engine
  • Internationalization support, so Mailpile can speak your language
  • Sensible defaults that improve your workflow and help you handle incoming mail
  • A platform developers can customize and build upon, including a plugin architecture, support for themes and alternate user interfaces and of course good documentatio
