Hello Product Hunt, and thanks to @nivo0o0, @bentossell from PH for helping us out! We started Polymail with the vision of creating the most beautiful and powerful native email experience across desktop and mobile. We’ve always loved the simplicity and beauty of Mailbox’s design, but we also found that amazing tools like Email Tracking, Contact Profiles, and Scheduled Send were indispensable to our workflow. Today, we’re proud to announce that Polymail combines these great features with the same lightweight, seamless interface that you should expect from a native email client. We’ve chosen Mac OS X as our first destination, and we have iOS and Android apps in the works! Here’s a highlight of some of Polymail’s best features so far: - Per-Recipient Email Tracking - Contact Profiles + Relationship History - Read Later - Send Later - Undo Send - One-click Unsubscribe ***EDIT*** Thank you all for your amazing support! We're working hard to respond to each of you who reached out to us, and if you're interested in checking out Polymail - please sign up at https://polymail.io! We've also been nominated for Mac App of the Year for the Golden Kitty Awards 😻! Check out the runnings at https://www.producthunt.com/@gol...

@foolywk please could you elaborate on "Per-Recipient Email Tracking"? How are you implementing that? (if I'm understanding it's use correctly). normally open tracking is done by invisible pixels; if I send an email to 4 people, how could you tell which person has opened it, if they're all going to be receiving the same tracking pixel?

@foolywk Looking forward to an invite . The anticipation is killing me
Ben Swinford
@_jacksmith @foolywk the per-recipient tracking got me off of gmail web with CRM and onto polymail
Varun Goel
@foolywk looking forward to an invite.. can't wait to try this. Love the fact that I can 'Send Later' and also do 'One-Click Unsubscribe'..
Sebastian Rumberg
@foolywk Would love to try it as well. It feels a bit like geeky christmas already.

Like many of us, I was sad to see that Mailbox is shutting down. The same day an invite to test out Polymail was in my inbox, and it was the perfect time to try it. I love it. Polymail is now my default email client, and I would encourage you to sign up to get on the beta and test it out. Looks like my email client for Mac problem (even when Mailbox for Max was available) is now solved -- looking forward to seeing what @foolywk and the Polymail team come up with!
Jack Smith
@nivo0o0 this can't come to iOS soon enough! Really disappointing that Mailbox is shutting down. @nivo0o0 how did you first discover Polymail?
Niv Dror
@_jacksmith a Twitter friend @varadhjain asked if I wanted to try this new email app. I said sure. Then a few days later Mailbox announced it was shutting down and I instantly became interested in looking into it and trying it out 😁 Love what I've seen so far :)
Brandon Shin
@nivo0o0 Thank you Niv! Glad you got a chance to try us too & we're really excited to share what we have in store 😉

This is one product I absolutely love. I have been an alpha-tester for about a month now. It has a lot of useful features built-in, which earlier was possible only with third-party extensions on the browser. Having an all-in-one native beautiful app is better than trying to make it work on your browser. The design is fresh, clean, intuitive and useful. Love the Interactions and Attachments panels on the right. Let's you get more information about the sender and past conversations at a glance. Keyboard shortcuts are very very handy. Especially the Unsubscribe one. More than the product, I love the founders. They are very active on slack and take feedback very seriously. They fix bugs and implement new features really quick. Polymail has been my only email client for long enough to earn a spot at my dock. I see myself using it in the future. My recommendation : Get the app and try it out. Good luck to the folk @ Polymail.
Brandon Shin
@ankushdharkar Thank you Ankush! We're honored to have earned a spot in your dock 💌
Derek Shanahan
Very, very excited to try this. How does one get an invite??
Varadh Jain
Have been lucky to watch Shahan, Shin, and Brandon build Polymail since day -1 and it has been sort of mind blowing to take a step back and see how much they've already shipped in the past couple of months. Given how quickly they've been implementing feedback and fix bugs, I'm excited to watch this product evolve. Polymail has been my default mail client since the first version they shipped, so I'm already sold 😋 BUT, if you were to replace your existing OS X mail client, what would be some of the features that would convince you to make the switch? 💌
Jessica Willison
@varadhjain Hi Varad! I'm already sold too ;) , but my favorite feature that I didn't know I needed is having the photos of the people I'm emailing pull up! I'm horrible with facial recognition, so this is super helpful. And it makes email way more personable!
Varadh Jain
@jessica___lynne @varadhjain Yep, yep! I love that feature too. I'm good with faces so now I'll never confuse anybody with somebody else :P

@varadhjain For me, search is the most important feature. Gmail does a terrific job of auto prompting my search queries and finding the exact email I am looking for, even with very basic search queries. I hope Polymail does a good job with search. If search doesn't work well, I usually abandon an email client immediately.

Polymail is what mail platforms have never never been able to be since the inception of email - functional to my workflow. It's the best of every software out there backed by a team of people who actually take time to listen to what *I* want in my email software. I have literally asked for a feature - and it has rolled out in an update less than a week later. The staff at Polymail take amazing care in paying attention to the user experience. I'm all about applications that help my workflow...and this is one that keeps me sane.
Brandon Shin
@jasontna Thank you Jason! Couldn't do it without your feedback, it's been 💯

I have been using Polymail for almost 4 weeks now and it’s already my default client. I hopped some 4-5 mail clients this year and didn’t find one that’s as simple as intuitive as Polymail. While it does not have all the features (they are adding them very fast), the founders are super nice and super fast. Twice, they fixed issues within 12 hours of me reporting it. Plus, they are transparent with development process. They have added all Alpha testers to a Slack and there’s a Trello board outlining the roadmap. Snooze feature is nice and they support multiple accounts (Gmail only for now!) The killer feature for me is email tracking. It’s so good and easy to use that I can comfortably say that it’s an Apple level feature, I didn’t know I needed it till I got it and it just works. Just check the tracking box (can be set to be checked and unchecked by default) and you will get notified every time your mail is opened. You can see past opens easily on message itself. The search works quite well. Not at Gmail level but better than a lot of other clients, including Mailbox. Unsubscribe feature is accurate and very useful. Overall, Polymail is a great mail client with a great team behind it which listens to users.
Brandon Shin
@real_ishan Thanks Ishan! It sounds like it's been a long journey. Glad you found your way here & we're very thankful to have you as a part of Polymail 💕
Jon Yetter
I’ve only had the chance to use Polymail for a couple days so far, but I’ve already made it my default mail app. It’s got a beautiful UI and the “interactions” and “attachments” tabs are awesome and make finding and navigating through previous conversations and attachments in those conversations quick and painless. As someone who keeps a lot of late nights working, the baked in “send later” featured is another that I’m excited about. Overall it’s clean and refined with lots of additional details that really make it solid and fun to use
Brandon Shin
@jonyetter Very glad to hear that Jon! We promise we'll do you proud on your decision to make Polymail your default!
Julian Miller
I'd love to check it out. I've been thus far unmoved by mail software, but this looks incredible!
Brandon Shin
@julianmiller Thank You!! We like to think there's always a first for everything.
Hal Gottfried
@bshins I'd love to come back, are you supporting IMAP yet ?
Jessica Willison
If you have to spend 99% of your day in your inbox, it should be with Polymail! I've been watching the build of Polymail & I am constantly blown away with everything this team has done & built! Very involved & responsive to their users. And you can tell in the product. Super intuitive, clean, and simple. Something so so needed in an inbox! Plus, these guys are some of the best people around! Despite their crazy sprint deadlines, they'll always make time to help me with dev questions or just chat in the office late at night after a long day. All around A++ for Polymail & the team!
Brandon Shin
@jessica___lynne The feeling is mutual! We're blown away how cool your team is as well http://enrou.co/ is doing amazing good in the world! We like to think we play a part of it by helping out in the email front 😊
Vikalp Gupta
Been using Polymail as my default mail client on mac for a week now. And being honest, it's a nice change from Mailbox (still sad about the death of Mailbox though) and fell in love instantly. Few things I really liked, - Great Design - Nice Support for email newsletter - Nifty Buttons like, Unsubscribe - Email Tracking - Send Later - Amazing People like, @foolywk, @bshins & @shahan312 Will wait for Android app to come soon. It would be awesome if I get it before Mailbox deadline.
Brandon Shin
@vkalpgupta Thanks Vikalp! Don't forget yourself in the list of Amazing people 🙌
Neeraj Baid
Just entered my email (wdaareg at gmail) to join the alpha—any chance I could get access? This looks awesome.
Brandon Foo
@2neeraj no problem Neeraj - you're on the list! excited to hear your feedback :)
Freddie Iboy
This is actually pretty exciting. The death of one app breathes new life to the market. Does Polymail have a single unified inbox for all my email accounts? Sign me up.
Jack Smith
@freddieiboy yes. that was a nice feature from Mailbox for me as well.
Brandon Shin
@freddieiboy be in touch soon! :)
Ben Tossell
I feel like I am yet to want to track emails and do all the fancy stuff with it. For now, I send one and wait for a reply. Don't need much else.
Baadier Sydow
@bentossell I've been using mailtrack on chrome for open tracking. Its one of those things where you dont really think you need it till you start using it and you cant live without it.
Ben Tossell
@baadier I have no doubt! which is why I'm hesitant to download anything yet haha... Don't want to be abandoned like Mailbox users haha
Sebastian Kreutzberger
A special link which marks people who come from ProductHunt and who get priority early access would help.
Sydney Liu
Congratulations @foolywk!! Love the care and effort put into Polymail. Seen really really amazing stuff from the team and the product. The product is gorgeous and the features are great. And the team is REALLY good about getting feedback.
Brandon Shin
@sydney_liu_sl Thanks Sydney! https://usepencil.com/ is pretty gorgeous too 😉 Got to let us write a guest post on there sometime soon!
Anshul Jain
I love Polymail - I've been using it for six weeks now and it's experience is fantastic. It improved my workflow so drastically that it got me re-examining my entire toolset — a well-constructed app like Polymail can exponentially improve your efficiency.
Brandon Shin
@anshulj10 Thanks AJ! Keep us updated on your findings for the rest of your toolset!
Ali Afridi
I've been using Polymail for the last few weeks and absolutely love it. It has a beautifully designed interface and I love the suite of features it provides (many of which Brandon mentioned above). My favorite part is how fast the team has been shipping updates with requests from the community. Really looking forward to see where this product goes.
Brandon Shin
@alikafridi Thanks Ali! We're glad you love it & happy to have you as a part of Polymail too!
Raul Rocawabe
After years with Sparrow I need a refresh! Please give us some early access! :)
Brandon Shin
@rrrraulsc always good to have a refresh!
Ann Wang
Email is the worst. Slow, inefficient, ugly. Polymail is the best. Quick, effective, beautiful.
Brandon Shin
@annwang013 Thanks Ann! We can't get over how cool http://enrou.co/ is!!
Andrea Grasso
Been testing it since yesterday and it looks really promising. @foolywk are you going to add IMAP and Exchange support anytime soon?
Brandon Shin
@madebyues IMAP is coming next! If your exchange server has IMAP, it will be supprted
Andrea Grasso
@bshins @madebyues that's great news! spreading the voice :)
