-## Differences from Nylas Mail
-
-- Mailspring replaces the Nylas Mail JavaScript mail sync (client-sync package) and the Electron "worker window" with a new, high performance codebase written in C++ and based on Mailcore2. Make the Electron application just the UI layer.
-  + One C++ process per email account.
-  + C++ and JS communicate via the child process stdin/stdout streams.
-  + JS application queues tasks *but has read-only access to the database.*
-  + JS application should not install timers or wake /at all/ when idle. 0% battery impact when idle.
-- Improve performance of the thread list and composer contenteditable.
-- Make windows open faster by just having less code.
-- Bring back mail rules.
