Email Search and snooze

Software
1

I get a moderate amount (50-100) emails a day at work. I deal with them mostly on my iPhone and Mac although I do not always have access to my Mac for long portions of the day. I am looking for certain email functionality which I do not seem to be able to find in one email client that I can use on both iOS and Mac. Primarily I move most of my emails to folders. This is time consuming on the apple mail app. Some of the others (Spark, etc) seem to be quicker and more efficient. I have found though that with other email clients, especially on iOS , the search only seems to be able to look in the inbox, sent, archive, etc but not into subfolders, especially if they are on the server. The native Apple mail app seems to be able to find most of the emails I need but not other clients.

The other need I have is to be able to snooze email for a period of time. This is not something the Apple mail app can do but third party apps can. I know I could use a server side solution such as SaneBox but this does not solve the moving of emails to subfolders and finding them later.

Thoughts?

Depending on who your mail provider is, you might try using one app for routine tasks and another specifically for search.

All but one of my email accounts is a Google account of some sort. So I absolutely love Spark on both Mac and iOS for its scheduling and snoozing capabilities, as well as its integration of GMail’s keyboard shortcuts (though shortcuts don’t work on iOS, unfortunately). GMail’s app (or, on the Mac, in the browser), is generally faster for search.

I’m still stuck with one Exchange account. For search there, I usually just use the web interface. Fortunately, that’s my least-used account.

What kind of mail server do you use at work?

We use Office 365/Exchange. 95% of my email comes from that account and an iCloud account.
