I too am working through DT as a relatively new user. There are definitely a lot of bugs that pop up on the mobile, but at least developers are reasonably quick to respond.
I did briefly play with an auto import work flow
-flag message in spark and archive
-flagged messages in spark show flagged in mail.app as well
-when back on iMac set a rule to auto import to DT (or just drag and drop) the “flagged” Smart Folder
This brings in the .eml, but I’m not sure it’s actually any better. Having the pdf retains formatting and is easy to search. I also find that the .eml doesn’t work all the time to send a new message (especially since I will end up moving emails to a “storage account” rather than one it was sent from so I’ve seen a lot of broken links when trying to open back up the original .eml on mobile.
It is possible that your IT department will have to explicitly allow the use of MailMate. This is usually not a problem. The same would be the case for, e.g., Thunderbird.
I have been using the test-release of MailMate with Office365+OpenAuth2 with no problems for approx. the last 6 months.
With the news of Spark going subscription, any considerations on where to move next?
How long will the current versions (before whatever new one was released) will continue to be supported without being forced into a subscription?
With currently 20 e-mail accounts (yes, I know it’s a lot), but I haven’t found another solution for that. I can’t remember how Mail.app treats a few things that I use in Spark. (tried Airmail not going back to them)
Ability to have individual inboxes (or unified inbox) and to easily switch back and forth
Ability when I am in a specific individual inbox, if I push reply, it replies from that account only
I recall years ago deleting an email on Mail.app just ‘archived’ instead of actual deleting it
Needs to have a client on all devices
I no longer use features like ‘send it later, snooze, etc’. I am pretty good about just checking my email 2x/day (morning and evening) and that’s it.
All 20 of my e-mail accounts are Google-Workspace accounts or Gmail (eventually want to get rid and move potentially to Fastmail for the critical accounts.
Mail handles this - you can show individual boxes or the unified inbox. Works on Mac and IOS
This is how Mail works for me. I can’t remember whether it’s the default or a preference setting
Not sure what you mean by this. On Mac, you can choose Archive or Delete by message. On IOS, there’s a setting that allows you on a per account basis to choose whether delete or archive is the default. You ca also set swipes to either
Apple devices, yes.
The one major weakness (for me) of Mail on iOS/iPadOS is the lack of a simple share sheet. You can share mails and message content, but it’s not obvious how and has some limitations
