One Live Mail was introduced in May of this year, and I got to use it the first time in October of this year, and now it is ending so let me show you its UI, and what it could be replaced with.
First the contrast is kinda shit on some of themes, they but it kinda looks nice on the one I am using to take the screenshots, the calendar view is also very nice but there is no way from the website to view the full thing only the snippet but adding new appointments uses the browser one, and that i like.
The worst part of One Live Mail is that while you can get Emails from outside you can't send Emails outside of your One Live Network Contacts, witch it means that its a good burner Email it is not really worth much outside of that, its because is it hard to prevent spam and misuse and that why there aren't any providers willing to host this.
Now on November 1st 2026 One Live Mail will die and it will be the end of @live.net.co Email addressees :( but I get why it had to be done but I suggest that we could do a "Paper Email" app its a different idea to One Live Mail, because that was One Live Hosting they're own Webmail service and "Paper Email" would be something like Outlook Desktop or Thunderbird but on the web.
Whatever happens I hope that the other One Live websites & Apps don't have to go the same way and the launch of Paper does not end the same way as the launch of Umiki with drama & bullshit
On the one live discord server assets from Figma were leaked featuring "One Live Music", it was the name of Umiki before it launched a few months ago. according to Chris Ruby Jane and i quote:
"Because we thought making something unique would be better than just going the easy way" they also wrote: "Plus having the existing branding with the word Music just there its not something that stands out in any way"
The leaked images are in the attachments, and I ask you reader do you think that Umiki is a better name then One Live Music, because I think that it is and that the name change was great.
In the one live discord server Chris Ruby Jane revealed that paper will be a document, spreadsheet and notebook editor and that it will be tightly integrated with Sync and Network
Paper will be available to testers today for the web and UWP Everyone will be able to use Paper starting next week And it will have real time collaboration as later mentioned
I here at Live News say that this feels like a Google Docs killer and if this gets open sourced than it could get a lot of attention as a alternative to Google Docs from the open community even and I suggest that One Live should add a presentation app and a Webmail app (to allow to to get all of your IMAP & Oauth2 emails in one place) and over all this is very exiting for us all
