@jamescampbell That's definitely our top priority for the next major release. What do you use? Outlook?

@alberto_santos i use Mail app in my macbook and i am running my own mail server using mailinabox on a digital ocean vps. I know im probably in minority here or maybe not? I dont use third party email services at all. running james at jamescampbell.us all on my own.
How do you handle remote-content? For example, I enjoy a Newsletter, but sometimes this Newsletter contains offers/coupons/event-invites in the form of images that I don't care for.
If a Newsletter is in kite is it's remote content automatically in kite too? Or, do I have to tap and open the Newsletter for it's remote-content to then and only then be loaded?
If the answer is tap and open to load.. then I will use kite, otherwise, the data I load is my preference not kites preference. Or, perhaps Gmail must be configured to block remote-content pre-kite use?
Thunderbird blocks remote-content and only shows me text (unicode) to start with, this allows me to quickly scan a Newsletter and realize whether or not I want all of it's content to load - my preference.
While loading images is often fine, they're some Newsletters that I strictly enjoy the text-content of and images aren't needed; These Newsletters only load what I want then and not the fluff on-top that I have no interest in; Thunderbird shows the remote-content in-place to not break layout; The content is represented by a small symbol showing that it was blocked.
In Thunderbird often I can easily tell from the metadata what an image is, and if I really want to see it then in a single click I switch my preferences and all images within the Newsletter load for me.
For these reasons mentioned and for the amount of Newsletters I go through per week I can't see kite being a smart data choice for me if I can't block remote-content; The more data that loads, the more battery power that gets used...

Probably should mention that it's just for Google mail. Downloaded to find out it doesn't work with hotmail or other services
@jamescampbell Cool! We'll add it over the next few weeks. Thanks for the suggestion!

I applaud the effort, but I feel like your comments here and your website are sending mixed messages about what the app does. This only helps me clear up my inbox by shifting my email newsletters to Kite *if* they're newsletters your team has added to Kite through your curation process. It doesn't really help me clear up my inbox if it only shifts the newsletters of your team's choosing to Kite. I still have a lot of newsletters that your team hasn't added to Kite (and may never add since, again, there's only your team's curation and not a system for adding any newsletters I choose), and those will still go to my inbox alone. I understand your newsletter list will grow, but I can't know if it will include any I'm currently subscribed to or will subscribe to. That said, it is a beautiful app that I hope to be able to use someday.
@barnabybones You're absolutely right. We're adding the ability to import newsletters and make unsubscribe more accessible in the near future -- making the “declutter” and “reclaim your inbox” part of our pitch right.

My solution with newsletter is to dedicate a specific gmail inbox for them so they don't clutter my main inbox
