Rambox - multi-service messaging and emailing

#1 Post by shnbwmn »

"Portable" downloads (x32 & x64): https://github.com/saenzramiro/rambox/releases

Tested: Not Portable

\AppData\Roaming\Rambox (main settings)
\AppData\Local\Temp (Icon files)

However, settings can be synced online (and thus between computers) by creating/logging in with a Rambox or Google account.

I feel like this is a program in desperate need of a video introduction. Unfortunately they picked a name that has a different connotation.

The developer is not interested at all in releasing a real Portable version of Rambox.

That's a pity :(

Thanks for submitting the issue. Maybe somewhere along the line it will be picked up on.

Rambox at version 0.4.0, among the changes there is a notable one:
Google Analytics integration (To know how many users are using the app, what services, don't disturb and lock options. That's all, don't freak out!).
for me this means that Rambox has turned into spyware. Although the developer has agreed that his portable builds are not portable he continues to release these "portable" versions which is at least misleading- for me Rambox-win32-ia32.zip & Rambox-win32-x64.zip would be OK, the suffix -portable is irrelevant.

Rambox at version 0.4.1. The developer still doesn't seem to be interested in releasing a portable version but at least he removed the word portable from the archives.
