Imagine a contributor of the project. He would have been fixing the bug for free and give the work to the public project. Right before he submits the code change, he sees an ad from a big tech bro: "Hiring. Whoever can fix this bug gets this job and a sweet bonus." He hesitated and worked for the company instead.

Now that he is the employee of the company. He can't submit the same bug fix to the open source project because it is now company property. The company's product is bug free, and the open source counterpart remains buggy.

Ceep up the good work oops.

The official website?

It’s a skill which not many have.

I think this is why OP got 21 downvotes. It is unreasonable to demand something fast, free, and good. You are going to get flatpak if you want it fast and free.

Why would a for-profit company spend three millions to develop the desktop application, then a million per month to maintain it, in order to lose your personal data therefore making less money?

How about compiling from source? Or look into how Debian/Ubuntu/Mint build the gimp package, then change the version and run the build process on your local machine?

It's not that they don't support IMAP or SMTP. They do, but only sending or receiving external emails. All operations from the client go through internet in their proprietary protocol to their server, then industrial standard protocols with other parties.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tutanota uses a proprietary protocol to communicate with email clients, so an app is needed. Perhaps "needs client app" means that.

No. Feel free to download shit and even attempt to run shit. Chances are they won't run because shits are compiled against glibc and my system is not.
