Best email client for mac must have encryption, Productivity features, Natural search, Minimal server footprint, Universal IMAP support
Let’s face it – you’re reading this because you aren’t happy with your current mac mail client. And that’s understandable – traditional clients like Apple Mail and Thunderbird don’t offer the productivity-enhancing features you want and need to help you get on top of email, and offer a plain and un-exciting design. Spending several hours a day looking at them just isn’t easy!
In contrast, Mailbox, during its brief existence, really got the design and user experience right, but had a fatal flaw – it used an intermediate server between their desktop client app and your email provider, on which it stored gigabytes of data – entire emails, attachments, etc – for each user. This not only created a security risk, it also made their business model unviable, given high server costs and lack of recurring revenue.
Modern email client for Mac such as Airmail, Spark, and Polymail attempt to strike a balance between features, user privacy, and cost – but they lack one critical piece of the puzzle that’s an absolute necessity in 2018 – email encryption.
