I then tried Sparrow, which is really smooth, intuitive and has a great conversation view that I love. It seemed to crash too much and did not have the conversation feature that I liked with "Sparrow".įor disclosure: I have the paid version of Sparrow and Postbox. I was looking or a mail app to use for "work emails" on my Mac and first tried the stock app. I want to check email twice a day, but GMail pop ups instantly, I get nothing done!). there is always web interfaces, but I dont recommend them either from a productivity point of view, you cant customise them or integrate with other applications (e.g. Sparrow and Thunderbird are on the way out. Mail.app is probably better for the more techies and business due to a better support community and Applescript integration, but not great with Gmail. Postbox is good for the average user, but if you are more advanced or a business I would not recommend it due to no support. So in my opinion there are NO "very good" email applications. Then you have Outlook, which due to the above issues I though I may have to use, but then its part of the Office suite which I dont need. The current version is likely to be available but no more development is what i understand? Possibly still a rumour, could not find official news about that from Mozilla. Thunderbird - I also read thats going too. I guess they want to sell to a basic user market and not business or advanced/techies who need to do a few more advanced things. So although it works better with GMail I am going to keep trying Mail.app because you cant sell a product and not provide support. I have some issues/questions and they basically said look at the self help section (which did not answer my questions). In fact I cannot find any support, not even a forum, about it. Postbox seems to be like Mail.app but works better with GMail. Mail.app seems to have issues with my massive GMail account, status never shows so I dont know what its doing, and then the Archive/Delete issue I cant fix. But thats gone now Google have bought them out.
