Nailbox

The world's second best e-mail client. (Inspired by Mailbox)

What makes it so great?

Mailbox-style "Show me this e-mail later"

The software is in an extremely early beta.

It's not easy to set up.
It may contain bugs that permanently delete all your e-mails.
It may contain bugs that permanently delete all the files on your computer.
It may contain bugs that causes it to forward all your e-mails to everyone on your contact list, airing all your dirty laundry.
It may contain security flaws allowing anyone on the internet to gain access to your gmail account.

Install vagrant on your host machine https://www.vagrantup.com/
Clone this git repo to your local computer.
By default, the Nailbox VM will listens to port 3000. If you want to change that port to another value, edit the Vagrantfile.
Go into the directory where the vagrant file is, and run vagrant up on your host machine. This will create a virtual machine aka your "guest machine".
SSH into the newly created guest machine by running vagrant ssh
Install nodejs on your guest machine by running:
- curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
- sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Install yarn (an alternative to npm that works better in VirtualBox because it handles symlinks differently) by running:
- curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
- echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
- sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y yarn
Change into the nailbox directory by running cd /home/vagrant/nailbox on your guest machine.
Install all of Nailbox's dependencies by running yarn install (or yarn install --no-bin-links if your host OS is Windows or otherwise has problems with symlinks) on your guest machine.
Start the server by running node main.js on your guest machine.
Open http://localhost:3000 in your webbrowser on your host machine (or whatever port you chose if you changed the setting in the vagrant file).
