Hi all,
We just packaged Hiri as a snap and we’re hoping to get some people to test it. Hiri is an email client with tasks and calendar for Exchange/O365 but works with Outlook.com accounts too. It’s written in Python and PyQt/Qt. It’s a paid app but comes with a two week trial.
You can get it with:
sudo snap install hiri --beta
You may need to connect some slots so have a look at snap interfaces when you install it. For example, home interface is required to be able to attach/download files to your $HOME folder:
sudo snap connect hiri:home core:home
To be able to open links in emails you’ll need to install snapd-xdg-open:
sudo apt-get install snapd-xdg-open
When you’ve installed it, type hiri to run it, or use the desktop launcher.
You’ll need an Outlook.com or Exchange/O365 account. You can open a free Outlook.com email account here.
We’d like to test the following:
- if the app starts without problems and on which distros
- does the desktop launcher work
- do the emails show when you open them
- can you download/upload attachments
- can you open links in emails.
Feel free to post any comments/questions/suggestions here.
Thanks a for all your help!
