Are there any new email apps out there? (Early 2022 edition)

Software
43

eM Client just launched a major new release (v9) which I’m taking for a spin. (I’ve been using Spark up until now)

A few pros and cons which matter to me. Of course, different things will matter to different people.

Cons

  1. It’s not a proper native MacOS app. (It doesn’t appear to be Electron either, but nobody is going to mistake it for a “mac-assed app”)
  2. The UI looks like it was designed for Windows
  3. Keyboard shortcuts are not Gmail shortcuts. They can be edited, but it won’t allow shortcuts without modifier keys. I’ve implemented a kludgy solution using BetterTouchTool which enables me to use Gmail shortcuts with it.
  4. No iOS app
  5. No option to track read/opens.

Pros

  1. Good support for Gmail features, inc labels
  2. Avatars in the message list
  3. Extremely customisable / configurable. Even more options & settings than Airmail.
  4. Side-pane which shows my email history with each contact
  5. Fast
