Idea validation: A fully local, privacy-first (no servers, no data collection) & customizable email client — would you use it? I’ve been hacking away on a side project called [YouniqMail](https://youniqmail.com/): It is basically an email client for people who care about real privacy and want full control over how they handle email. The core concepts: * It stores **everything locally**. No cloud, no sync, no “trust us” server. It only communicates with the mail servers * **I literally don’t run a backend** — your emails never touch anything I own. * It’s **super customizable** (not now, but will be coming soon while alpha phase) — you can tweak workflows, layout, and email management to fit how you work. * Has a **flag system (like Apple Mail) and a tag system, and I’m planning to add labels later**. To organize your mails even better with multiple systems. * Maybe also the functionality to add notes for mails. * The goal is to make email feel like a toolbox, not a black box. The slogan is "Email management that adapts to you – not the other way around.". So that your are not forced to do "inbox zero" or some other email workflows you don't want. **I firmly believe that every user has different workflows for their email management. That's why the approach with the "highly customizable".** * ...of course many more features or characteristics but don't want to list them all here 😅 I built it because I got tired of email clients being either privacy nightmares because they are stored or some features only work with the servers of the developers, or completely rigid. I’d love your honest thoughts: * Would you ever switch to a fully local email client like this? * How much do you care about privacy (and perhaps a compromise on some features) vs. convenience? * How important is **customization** vs. simplicity for you? * How do you use and organize your emails and workflow? * What would make a email client like this worth paying for or switching to? I’m just trying
