Nylas Mail

This is a collection of all components required to run Nylas Mail.

  1. Isomorphic Core: Shared code across local client and cloud servers
  2. Client App: The main Electron app for Nylas Mail mirrored to open source repo.
  3. Client Sync: The local mailsync engine integreated in Nylas Mail
  4. Client Private Plugins: Private Nylas Mail plugins (like SFDC)
  5. Cloud API: The cloud-based auth and metadata APIs for N1
  6. Cloud Core: Shared code used in all remote cloud services
  7. Cloud Workers: Cloud workers for services like send later

See /packages for the separate pieces. Each folder in /packages is designed to be its own stand-alone repository. They are all bundled here for the ease of source control management.
