Outside of search and import history, our free version is 100% feature compatible with the paid version. None of the core functionality (including the new AI stuff) requires a paid plan. On a paid plan, you can import and search your full history. On the free plan, you can import and search your last 90 days. See our pricing page for more details (https://www.shortwave.com/pricing/).

Now, I don’t know about you, but I have 15 years of Gmail history. I don’t think you can claim searching/looking at all that isn’t ‘core functionality’ for an email client.

I don’t begrudge you the need to charge something for it, but to claim the free version has full functionality is a bit misleading.

Exactly. I wasn't specific because I thought it was obvious. I need to search for old emails all the time. I'd hardly want to use shortwave sometimes, but flip to Gmail multiple times a day. I thought that limitation was by design to make sure 'free-tier' people didn't overwhelm your service.
