Hi, I'm Jeff and my passion is email.
While in college, I wrote my first real email program, Spruce. I dropped out of college a year later to join a software start-up calledXimian to work on theEvolution project which had the ambitious goal of bringing an Open SourceOutlook clone to Linux. I learned a lot during my time there and wrote a library calledGMime that made it possible for a number of Open Source C/C++ projects to read and write MIME messages.
Fast forward to 2013 when I began implementing my 2 most popular Open Source projects,MimeKit andMailKit. These projects bring support for MIME, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP to the .NET world, making it possible for thousands of .NET developers to finally have access to email capabilities. For free!
Your sponsorship will help fund continuous improvement to these libraries, documentation, web hosting and more.

You value great open source libraries likeMimeKit andMailKit and want to show your gratitude by treating my fiancée and I to a monthly subscription ofNetflix.
A few nights a month spent watching romantic movies with her will go a long way toward helping her forgive me for spending so much of my free time working on my open source projects.
