Hiri email client is an attractive mail app that integrates seamlessly not only with Microsoft Exchange servers, but also connects to Office 365, as well as Outlook.com, Live, and Hotmail accounts. We can argue that the likes of Mozilla Thurderbird (with ExQuilla Plugin), Evolution are also great alternatives but Hiri does have some extra wow factor, one of which is the dashboard.
Hiri is written in Python and PyQt/Qt and runs on Windows, Mac OS, as well as Linux platform. Currently not supported are Gmail, Yahoo etc.
Before we take a quick look at it’s features, please note that Hiri is not an open-source app hence its not free but rather there is a 14 days trial period.
