Search 100,000 messages in 25 ms on Mac

Everything is local SQLite. Nothing waits on the network.

The problem

Web mail sends every search to a server and waits for the results to come back. It is a network round trip to find a message you already received, and it fails completely on a train.

What Email does

Your mail is in SQLite on the machine. Search runs against that: full text, every account, about 25 milliseconds on a 100,000-message mailbox. Results appear as you type because there is nothing to wait for.

Archive, star, label and delete commit locally and sync afterwards, so the interface never blocks on a round trip. Offline, everything keeps working and the changes go up when you are back.
