From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does it support offline access?

[–] calmluck9349@infosec.pub 17 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It does not. Which is the reason I wanted the app...

How to completely fail on a mail client. Holy hell.

Are you sure?

  • Caching for offline use
[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Caching is not the same as actual offline functionality.

What the hell constitutes “actual offline use” for an email client

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

downloading emails and storing them locally for offline reading, categorizing, searching and drafting. "Caching" usually just means if you opened the app with connection, it won't go bonkers and will probably let you finish your immediate task + some basic functionality if you lose it. Can't close the app though.

I turned my WiFi off and opened the app it was just a white screen. I suppose its beta still. But my dream is to keep a local copy of all my mail just got a cache.
