I like the idea of a native Linux email client. The UI looks pretty good too. It's really not hard to beat thunderbird.
Calling it version 1.0 is bullshit though. It's only about a month old: https://github.com/c9dev/penguin-mail/graphs/contributors?al...
A project with the complexity of an email client cannot be considered stable in a month. There are bugs that will only show up after a year. It has a calendar after all.

1. Being released on GitHub for a month does not mean it’s a month old.
2. Seems odd to assume instability by default without evidence.

I don't understand this mentality. It's an email client. There's not a lot needed UI-wise to make a functioning interface. Display a list of emails, show the full message when you open it, etc. I don't see anything functionally different between this email app and basically every other one I've ever used.
You've either got insane standards or are using email way different than I.
