To that end, a quick poll - the poll is anonymous. |

Those folks from Runbox are happy because they are using an innovative technology. They are programmers, so they don't really understand or care about the importance of user experience. They only care about coding. Since the beginning Runbox had the worst visual and graphic interface and this is still a problem of Runbox 7. It is counter-intuitive, it is ugly and it doesn't follow a natural flow of actions when you need to do something in your email account.
They really need a UX designer. Or at least they should copy another webmail interface regarding the looks and the features available to the user. It might be a revolutionary code or implementation or I don't know what, but when I see those horrible fonts, that bad typography with poor readability, the way it is designed, poor navigation, the lack of functions and features and overall the lack of a pleasing aesthetic design, It makes me choose other provider. |

Despite the fact that it has been in beta for what seems like years, basic functions still don't work properly. e.g. I had 8 emails in my inbox, I marked them all as unread and the unread indicator said I have 6 unread emails instead of 8. I marked them all read and then unread again and it then said I have 7 unread ? |

Runbox 7 is an open source project and you are welcome to submit feedback, issues and requests for enhancements at:
https://github.com/runbox/runbox7 We are also actively engaged with our customers over on our own community website at: https://community.runbox.com/c/runbox-7 This is where we will be engaging with customers in the future, and you will find a larger number of our team there. Regarding the comments here, the poll isn't really useful without people also telling us what they would like to see as part of Runbox 7. I realise it was a binary poll and wasn't necessarily intended to be useful in providing specific feedback. We appreciate that some people have given more detail than others (thanks for that) and we would welcome more detail regarding the points either on the GitHub site or our own community forum for each of the points so far raised: • Bad typography/readability. • Poor navigation/counter-intuitive design. • Lack of functions (which ones do you want to see included). • What would make it more aesthetically pleasing to you? I've investigated the recently raised issue regarding folder counts and we can now work on a fix as those comments were quite specific and helpful. We are currently working on contacts, calendar, tasks and an identities feature to replace the outdated use of profiles based on folders in the older interface. As we control the whole development process rather than trying to implement something created by someone else we are in a position to consider any comments made, but we would ask that they give us something to work with rather than just criticise. |

I think Runbox should look at Tutanota to see how a lightning fast interface should be designed and implemented.

They also roll out improvements/new features quickly too and have lots of happy customers (just look at their forum). I think they are awesome. |

Just tried RB7 with Chrome on a Linux Mint desktop.
Slow as molasses -- not ready for prime time. Shall give it a whirl again in September 2020. -- Jacinto |

I could not find a Runbox7 Chrome App. My experience was logging-in directly to the RB7 webmail site. -- Jacinto Last edited by Jacinto : 13 Sep 2019 at 05:52 AM. Reason: Clarity. |
