nylas
Crash on start ("Nylas Mail is loading" window is permanently stuck)
So I was using the Nylas client for a few days and grown to like it. There are some issues with it running slow at times, but overall I had a good experience. That is until it died on me and got permanently stuck on the loading window. I have three Google Apps accounts attached to the client and as painful as it was, after a few restarts of the client and the laptop I've decided to do a full reinstall of the client. Removed it from the apps(system uninstaller) and installed it again. That resulted in the same error. Ie also re-downloaded the client again from the site and tried that - same result. I searched all over the web for the solution but so far getting nowhere, fast. I think there might be a glitch in the local mail storage DB(I assume that's where the records are kept in sync) and it doesn't get flushed on app deletion/reinstall. I was also suspecting package compatibility, but I get no errors whats so ever and have updated kernels and OS itself a few times. Stil gets the same window.
PS: I've tried to download sources with the intention to compile the app, but did not find a Makefile or instructions of how to do so.
Please help!
What operating system are you using?
Fedora Linux 25-26(problem is persistent on 25 and 26) Current build details: Linux fclinux.local 4.11.8-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 29 20:09:48 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Bug?
Do you have any third-party plugins installed? If so, which ones?
No, only standard ones, all set to their defaults
Is the issue related to a specific email provider (Gmail, Exchange, etc.)?
No. Using only Gapps.
Is the issue reproducible with a particular attachment, message, signature, etc?
Enter this into a terminal echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
This command increases the max file watcher. I noticed nylas would hang when I had applications open that were using the file watcher. Increase the max watches fixed it.
