I got interested and tested Edison Email. It looks really promising i’d say. Ok, there may not be every single thing under the sun accessible, there’s no rotor actions for example, but still mail is readable and most actions can be performed as far as i can see. Haven’t tested replying yet from the email client but will try soon. Some things have to be tested by others as features like payment tracking, package tracking etc aren’t available in Sweden.
