SnappyMail


github-actions docker-image-size

Simple, modern, lightweight & fast web-based email client.

Up to date system requirements, snappy performance, simple installation and upgrade, no database required - all these make SnappyMail a good choice.

PGP

RainLoop uses the old OpenPGP.js v2 SnappyMail v2.12 uses OpenPGP.js v5, GnuPG and Mailvelope. SnappyMail is able to use and generate ECDSA and EDDSA keys, where RainLoop does not.

Since SnappyMail tries to achieve the best mobile experience, it forked OpenPGP.js to strip it down.

OpenPGP RainLoop Snappy RL gzip SM gzip RL brotli SM brotli
openpgp.min.js 330.742 546.165 102.388 169.207 84.241 138.688
openpgp.worker 1.499 824 695

Squire vs CKEditor

The Squire implementation is not 100% compatible yet, but it shows the massive overhead of CKEditor.

Still TODO:

  • support for tables (really needed?!?)
normal min gzip min gzip
squire 122.321 41.906 31.867 14.330
ckeditor ? 520.035 ? 155.916

CKEditor including the 7 asset requests (css,language,plugins,icons) is 633.46 KB / 180.47 KB (gzip).
