📌 To Do

• Implement a native window menu using the Tauri window menu feature.
• Extend support to other operating systems, including Windows and Linux, for broader compatibility.
• Integrate support for more email services such as Outlook, Yahoo, and others.
• Allow users to manage and switch between multiple accounts within the app.
• Enable users to create and apply custom configurations for more flexibility.

⚠️ Work in Progress

Pulse is an experimental weekend project built to explore Rust and Tauri. As such, it's not production-ready:

• Use at your own risk.
• Expect breaking changes and frequent updates.
