I'd like to deprecate and archive this project.

I've already said: I don't have projects to maintain this project anymore. I use my macOS Mail client and I'm happy with it.

Recently, Google Inbox was closed by Google, so @jmarino made a PR that uses Gmail web version as the UI. Since it's not implementing desktop experience for Google Inbox anymore, I don't see sense in this project.

I don't want to confuse potential users, so let's make it clear:

This project is not maintained anymore. This project doesn't implement Inbox desktop experience, it just used to use Inbox web version packaged as a desktop app. Since Inbox is closed this project has to be closed as well. It just cannot operate normally without Inbox.

This project is going to be archived. I'm gonna close all issues since I don't have plans to work on them. Please, fork this project, if you still want to contribute.


P.S: I understand the needs of former Inbox's users to have an app with similar UI/UX. From my point of view, it's still possible to recreate Inbox UI with Gmail API. I don't have plans to do that since I don't need such an application. However, if you need that, just fork this repo and start building — this is a great chance to start your own open source project. Good luck!

Sounds good.
