Hey folks! I’m excited to announce we’ve shipped Mailspring 1.9.0, which includes major open source contributions from folks in the community (for vertical two-pane mode, new localizations and more!) This release also upgrades us to Electron 8 and adds the ability to use Mailspring without creating a Mailspring ID. Thanks to everyone who contributed and provided feedback for this release!

Features:
-
Mailspring no longer requires a Mailspring ID! You can opt-out in the app’s setup flow and connect your email accounts without first creating a Mailspring ID. Doing so disables features that require paid APIs and cloud data storage (send later, read receipts, etc.), but you can opt in and create an account at any time from Preferences > Subscription.

Mailspring has moved to Discourse for bug, feature, and issue management, and the app now links to resources in the community instead of Zendesk! (#2263)
