Mailpile: Beta Rejected!

The Mailpile project announced that, after processing the feedback that resulted from its first public beta release, the team has pulled back the release so that it can rethink things and continue development. Among the highlighted issues were IMAP and GnuPG support, but "there are a very large number of other smaller bugs and loose ends that need work. Almost all of these are in the "back end" of the app, the low level plumbing, gears and turbines and closures and APIs that work behind the scenes. The back-end has been playing catch up to the user interface for a while, it needs some focus and attention before we can ship a real product." We took a look at the beta release in September 2014.
