Mailspring is an open source, cross-platform email client that is a development of the now discontinued Nylas Mail.
The Mailspring user interface is styled using CSS, which means it’s easy to modify and extend. Mailspring comes stock with a few beautiful themes.
It replaces the JavaScript sync code in Nylas Mail with a new C++ sync engine based on Mailcore2.
