Firstly: this is an email client and not an email provider so server & hosting will be your current mail servers, whether it's Gmail, Outlook or a private mail server. We're right now considering making this into a native desktop application instead of a web-based solution, since a lot of users has brought up that they wanted this from a security standpoint.

Also we're making an updated design with new icons and a more modern look, stay tuned for it to come out this week!
