folks, if your email client only works with gmail, it’s not an email client… it’s a gmail client.

@cabel @mcphat Fair, but that limitation makes things a hell of a lot easier for the developer. The email app I once wrote made me really wish that SMTP and IMAP were as easy to use as GMail’s API.

@atomicbird @mcphat i believe it! but i’m just saying if i can’t check my email with your email client it’s not an email client.

@atomicbird @cabel @mcphat IMAP is easy. The Letters.app people said so, it has to be true.

@atomicbird @cabel @mcphat But real developers don’t do it because it’s easy.

They do it because they thought it was going to be easy.

(Not mine, but the original made me laugh so hard, I had to reuse it.)
