Guru - sorry you are finding Dekko2 unusable. I've been able to use it despite what are indeed some definite bugs in it currently. As far as the rendering errors (which usually happen on iniital loading for me) / crashes (which happen after I delete a number of emails at one) - a quick refocus or relaunch fixes those problems for me. The messages getting stuck in drafts is a more serious problem (and one I've encountered myself) but it's easy enough to for me to verify if they have been sent and resend as needed. I also run 3 accounts in it as well but have never had to re-enter them - I'm conjecturing that the root of some of your problems might be how large of a cache you are running with it. I am sorry you are dealing with such problems - for me Dekko2 is indeed most definitely usable even in its existing state - and as far as my tests go Geary at this point will get you way worse performance than Dekko2 does. Beyond that - perhaps we could both pool together some cash to offer developers bounties on fixing the bugs in Dekko2 to hopefully speed up this process, as I do wish to have a more stable and more feature filled email client on UT as well.

Best regards,

I just installed Geary via Libertine - it is readily available in the default 16.04 repositories - and I was able to enter my account information and read some emails - but its gui is poor for phones (it is much better suited for tablets, in fact I use it as my email client of preference on a 10.6" x86 tablet) - and it was very unstable and crashed often. Frankly I don't see how Geary gives any advantage over the Dekko2 email client which works very well with a great interface for mobile devices already - but if performance in Libertine could be improved in a future update then Geary might be usable for tablets running Ubuntu Touch.

It seems that the Skype Webapp has been updated and I believe it works with audio chat - https://open-store.io/app/skype.rubencarneiro - although it certainly is not really a privacy respecting solution like Signal should be - but at least there is one option out there currently.

With from what I am understand it to be an upcoming complete removal of Oxide from the code, will some or all Ogra based webapps stop working after OTA8 or OTA9?
If so, is it possible to see some development happen on Webapp Creator and/or the Morph Browser to easier facilitate recreating these to the post-Oxide code base?

Sailbook allows you to see and send replies to Facebook messages directly within the Sailbook webapp.

Steve - in the Austin, Texas, USA area.

Unfortunately both the standard Ubuntu Software Center and Synaptic package managers will not launch in UT via Libertine - however lubuntu-software-center DOES work, even if it is still a little clunky on the phone.
