It looks really nice.

Looking at pricing page it says that Linux/Windows support is part of Pro only.
https://nylas.com/pricing

But I guess it simply means they do not provide compiled binaries for
free, but we can just build them from source ourself.
However this might be just a build issue on their side for the basic version:

Where are the Windows and Linux downloads?
We’re still working out a few bugs in the Windows and Linux builds.
They’ll be ready in a couple weeks.

Somehow mail for me is in the bucket of specialised apps, and it seems
like none of the current "full-featured" email clients follow the
latest GNOME guidelines, thus including any one of them will be a bit
out of line.
I'll try to play with nylas a bit; and imho shipping it by default
might be a gamble I could see us take.
