These days, Aqua Mail seems like even less than a hobby project. The original developer, working alone, was much more responsive. It's a shame, really.
Aqua Mail is not a hobby project, but the app is now maintained in a different environment, with more platforms, more providers, OAuth/security changes, Android/iOS restrictions, and a much larger range of devices to support. That can make some fixes slower, especially when they depend on provider changes or OS behavior.
Your feedback is fair, and we know responsiveness matters. If there’s a specific issue you’re waiting on, please send it over and I’ll try to give you a clear update.
