Rambox – A Messaging and Emailing App That Combines 73 Apps Into One - Valtam - 03-14-2017 Interested to hear the communities thoughts on this application. One application that handles both email and all the popular messaging apps. Rambox is a free messaging and emailing app created using Electron which is composed of various popular web applications to provide users with the ability to add as many web services as are supported in the same place and to use multiple accounts by way of duplicate apps. Rambox is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac and at the moment, supports 73 web services including WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber, Telegram, Google Hangouts, Gmail, etc., and users are welcome to manually add services that aren’t bundled in the latest shipment. It has a simple bright interface with a tabs bar at the top of its UI to which added apps can be aligned either to the left or to the right. It comes with a handful of customization options including show notifications, mute all sounds, display read counter. Features in Rambox     Unity notifications for added web services with desktop notification support     Account synchronization across multiple computers     Master password     Menu access from the system tray     Ability to manually add services of your choice     Proxy configuration support to bypass network censorship     Notification count on icons of individual services     Support for the addition of custom code     Reorder icons in the tab bar and group services into two     Long term support (as far back as Ubuntu 12.04) Re: Rambox – A Messaging and Emailing App That Combines 73 Apps Into One - LL-user - 03-14-2017 I have these kind of apps on my radar for at least a year. It started first Franz, then Rambox joined. Still haven't bought into it, for various reasons like complexity and security. Isn't Electron also quite demanding in terms of system resources? If that is true, it might be relevant here in regard to the "Lite" philosophy. Long story short, still sitting on the fence observing Re: Rambox – A Messaging and Emailing App That Combines 73 Apps Into One - torreydale - 03-14-2017 I would not use it, and I realize I am probably not the target for this app.  I use a browser for mail.  And because of the ubiquity of Google Apps and Android, even iPhone users now have a Gmail account.  So they also have a Google Chat/Hangouts account.  If I need to send them something more than a few characters in a text message, and I can see they're online, I'll send them a Google Chat/Hangouts instant message. At one time, I used Pidgin or Trillian for those people I knew who could only chat via Yahoo Messenger, but now even they have Google Apps.  Re: Rambox – A Messaging and Emailing App That Combines 73 Apps Into One - bayoubooger - 03-14-2017 Can't begin to remember my AOL password?  > Re: Rambox – A Messaging and Emailing App That Combines 73 Apps Into One - thoughtinstinct - 03-14-2017 I will try it out if its included but its not something i'm burning for right now. Personally i find myself moving away from such apps and doing everything in the browser as its more straightforward. ( I blame thunderbird mail for driving me nuts ) Re: Rambox – A Messaging and Emailing App That Combines 73 Apps Into One - Scott(0) - 03-14-2017 I'm neutral. It's not something I'd personally use but I'm not against others using it. Re: Rambox – A Messaging and Emailing App That Combines 73 Apps Into One - Valtam - 03-15-2017 Thanks for your feedback Re: Rambox – A Messaging and Emailing App That Combines 73 Apps Into One - bitsnpcs - 03-15-2017 I wouldn't use it, some people might find it useful.
