Mailspring: Remove the subscription advertisement when you have more than 4 email accounts

[deanpress]

There's a virtually constant notification asking you to subscribe if you have more than 4 email accounts. It's a bit intrusive and distracting. When I had the free version I git cloned the repo just so I could remove that notification. The UX would be better (and personally I'd be more inclined to consider upgrading if I hadn't already) if the UX of the free version doesn't contain advertisements for the subscription model.

Hey thanks for filing this! Of course the UX would be better if there wasn't an ad - most of the internet would be nicer without ads. But then I'd be doing contract work right now instead of working on open source. ;-)

Super awesome you cloned it and removed the banner! Maybe the annoyance factor will get more folks into open source. Jokes aside though I agree it's probably overkill. That banner was inserted ages ago and we never ran any sort of A/B tests to see if it really made a difference. I'll see if we can tone it down a bit, I don't imagine the impact would be too great.

@bengotow It's probably fine for the light theme, but the light blue notification is an eye-sore on the dark theme 😄

As for conversions; I upgraded due to the fantastic tracking/scheduling features. That trial expiring made it an easy purchase.
