It feels like no developers I know is particularly happy with their (GUI) email client on MacOS.
I'm looking for one that:
- Stays out of my way and lets me focus on emails.
- Easy to use without a mouse
- Minimal amount of clutter
- Unifies Gmail / Google inboxes and sent emails
- Doesn't cache every single email on my hard drive
- Probably more, but you get where I'm going
Clients I've tried extensively: - Spark - By far the best I've tried so far. But, and it hurts... I choose not to use them now that Ukraine is being invaded both geographically and digitally. In this case I'm rather safe than sorry.
- Apple Mail - it works, but sparks absolute zero joy.
- Twobird - I wish I loved them and I do in 80% of the cases. But they want to merge your todo list and email and as a consequence they don't allow you to archive an email without clicking - two times. There are other similar examples caused by the fact that they really want to be a mix between a todo list and an email client.
- Airmail - "Apple Design Award 2017 Winner". 2017.
- Mailbox - Discontinued after Dropbox acquired them.
BTW for private mails I use paid version of Tutanota with own domain, because of privacy aspects.
