A Modmail fork with a focus on improvements and bug fixes.

Why hard fork?

Modmail has quite a few significant problems with its feature implementations, ranging from improper Discord sticker support down to suboptimal user blocking feature. Inevitably, fixing these fundametal issues required backward-incompatible fixes and since Modmail is rather slow on updates, I decided to turn this into a public hard fork for other user's benefits and for the spirit of FOSS.

Important disclaimer: This fork is neither supported nor endorsed by the Official Modmail team. Do not ask the official support team if you have issues on this forked version. Since most of the modifications implemented are backward-incompatible, I will not be responsible for the damage caused to your Modmail instance by using this fork.
