The people who complain about subs are always disproportionately louder than those who have zero problem paying a fair price for something they enjoy using.
I know this, because I see it in my sales vs reviews!
A protocol that can immediately and irreversibly delete my emails, just from the simple act of checking if I have any…wow, that’s powerful stuff

To all my Sheety customers: thank you for funding Big Mail
Writing these packages has also been a fun exercise in how to design APIs now that we have concurrency.
For example, subscribing to IMAP idles (pushed events), I borrowed the 'updates' pattern used in the new StoreKit 2 API. It's an AsyncStream that just runs forever, and gets iterated over when new events occur.
Big Mail 2, nay, ALL my apps, wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the generous contributions of others in the OS community.
I can't wait to give back, so that's why I plan to open source all of Big Mail's core packages: SwiftIMAP, SwiftSMTP, and SwiftEmail.
They're all super Swifty, modern, and hopefully instantly familiar to anyone who's used Foundation. #Swift
