Hey! Looks interesting, so is this a mail client? Can I use this with my existing GMail accounts? Or is it meant to replace my existing accounts like hey.com did?

@abhiroop_cvk We are not another mail client but building a new platform. Any email address can be used as your public identifier so you would be able to keep using your existing accounts.

Plum Mail is a replacement for email and instant messengers. We find both so frustrating! Email is disorganised and IM is distracting. We want to fix this and keep email's best feature: the fact everyone has an email address. Plum Mail gives us the opportunity to build something better. We're making conversations more useful, better organised and more meaningful. You can do this by concluding threads, pinning key points, sending structured replies and setting expectations about how often you check you messages. Genuinely excited to see what you make of it. Here's our demo video showing key features: https://youtu.be/Yf-82ychDgA

@richardesigns @iamhuman108 The key features of groups are how easy it is to manage the participants list, there is no messing around with cc and bcc and no needing to remember to hit reply-all instead of reply

Love it! With juggling dozens of projects with various teams I started using an email for each project that we review during a meeting and then send out to the team + stakeholders. I think using a tool like Plum will make that process way better. Does it work with Office 365?

@husseinyahfoufi Any email address can be used for plum mail, it doesn't matter what client you use or what service is hosting your emails. Look at closer integration to specific services such as Office 365 is something we may look into further in the future.

Richard and Peter are among my favorite makers. They build high quality, thoughtful features fast. I'm excited for the ideas they're incorporating in Plum Mail - and looking forward to playing with their Beta.

Hey, I'm the technical co-founder at Plum Mail. Having better tools for communicating has been something I've wanted to work on for a good while, it's great to now be sharing it. If your curious about how Plum Mail replaces email I'd be very happy to answer your questions.

I've been looking for something to help with concluding emails. Just for this feature I'm excited.

@lewis_aburrow Hey Lewis, great to hear! Thank you. Can you describe the reason why concluding messages is important to you? For insight, the reason we came up with this is twofold. First, email conversations can often go off-topic from the original subject. Maybe a user just pulls up an old email thread and starts talking about new stuff. Oftentimes in my inbox other people will just use one email thread for every. single. message. they. send! In my opinion a better way to organise conversations in email is the flexibility to conclude a conversation so that starting a new thread, when the need arises, is necessary. If you're working in a big team too then it seems friendly and thoughtful to conclude a conversation when it's finished with to notify other users so they don't have to worry about replying anymore to that thread because they can see it is closed. In instant messaging land 'stream of consciousness' messaging is the norm and when I'm chatting to friends it's hard to find that 'goodbye' moment. These are the motivations for coming up with this feature idea so you know where we're coming from but I would love to how you're thinking about conclusions and how you might use them?

@lewis_aburrow @iamhuman108 the design thought at the moment is that you simply could not reply to a closed thread. However, the owner of that thread could re-open it if the topic needs to be revisited.
