If you’re looking for a feature-rich alternative to Apple’s Mail on iOS, then look no further than Airmail. We’ve come a long way, especially on iOS — while many of us used Mail. May 1, 2018 - Apple Mail received some improvements with Sierra, but is it the best mail client? Here are our picks for the Best Mail Apps for Mac: MacOS Sierra Edition. AirMail 3, whose iOS counterpart made our list of 5 Best Mail Apps for. However, if you want to switch things up, you have multiple themes to choose. The Mac’s default Mail application (also referred to as “Mail.app” or “Apple Mail”) has a somewhat checkered past. While Mail.app provides a free, full-featured email client on every Mac that is sold and has pioneered some innovative features over the years (like VIP and Handoff), it’s definitely not for everyone.

Airmail is not a new email app, but with the advent of Airmail 3 for the Mac and Airmail 1.1 for the iPad and iPhone, it's actually a very robust and feature packed alternative to the standard Apple Mail client. In this first of a two part series, I take a look at setting up Airmail with an iCloud account and a Gmail account, followed up by a look at some of its basic features. In two weeks, (SCOM0563), I'll take a look at some of the more advanced features and customising Airmail.

Airmail, the third party email client for Mac, has been updated to version 3, bringing some major new features to the popular application and a redesigned interface. The new update adds Smart Folders for enhanced message filtering and organization, VIP contacts, OS X notifications, and support for the 'send later' feature available to Gmail and Exchange account holders. The Mac update also means that Airmail for OS X now syncs account preferences across iPhone and iPad devices, syncing rules, VIP contacts, and Smart Folders over iCloud. Airmail 3 supports multiple accounts including MS Exchange, Gmail, Google Apps, IMAP, POP3, Yahoo, AOL, Outlook.com, and Live.com. Other new changes bring options for customizable menus, gestures, keyboard shortcuts, and folders, as well as calendar integration, rules for forwarding messages, Asana and Trello integration, primary inbox support for Gmail, and redesigned message threads. Airmail 3.0 is available for El Capitan on the Mac App Store, priced at $9.99. Am I literally the only person who uses the stock Mails app on OS X?

Suits all my basic needs. I also use the stock Mail app. And I am no basic user. 4-5 mailboxes (Gmail, Google Apps, iCloud, Exchange), and over 100 messages every week. I have tested AirMail, UniBox and others. Thing I need the most is the reliability and compatibility. Other e-mail clients were far more functional but (more) unreliable, laggy and had compatibility issues with Exchange servers.

I would love Apple to add better support for Gmail labels (instead of folders) and support for google push notifications (basically google API instead of IMAP) in coming release.
