I have found Mail on both iPhone and MacBook to be enough for my use. Otherwise I use and prefer Thunderbird on other operating systems.

I switch between apps often, but I tend to use Spark more often than Apple Mail/Outlook/gmail.

Most email apps on iOS and macOS route emails through their private servers which is a security risk. This risk magnifies when one has also set up their work accounts on their devices.

Also, many email apps cater to Gmail, which I understand is the most popular email service, but prohibits me from using with my accounts.

Therefore, the native, default mail clients on both platforms is what I use.

Do let me know if there are email clients that do not reroute one’s emails. I would love to try those out.

Inbox was so good, made email so easy. Can’t believe how long it’s been and no one has been able to replicate it. Still mad at Google for killing it off.

Spark for personal and Outlook for work. Really wish Outlook had the option to show pinned emails at the top like Spark does though.

i tried some of the clients but neither satisfied me like gmail does.

The search, the functionality and also the swipe behavior of the native apple client is way worse then the gmail client. This also terminated the use of an icloud mail adress, so I forwarded this to my gmail.

I also do not want another account for my email client just to access my mails, so most of the other clients were out of the race. In the end I stick to my gmail account and it's app, cause it satisfies me the most.

Thanks again for all your answers :)

For me, the gmail app on iPhone is still my favorite. I like the Mail app, but there are two things that really keep me in gmail. One is the instant push delivery. The other is the simple swiping: right to save, left to trash. Given how good searching in mail is these days, I don’t bother to organize emails into folders. I just need to make a very simple decision: keep or toss. That is so fast to do in the gmail app.

I prefer using the default mail app.

It’s Outlook for me. Trialed a bunch, disliked the data/privacy deets on many, and MS already worked it’s way into my heart via corporate America.

It does a nice job of pinning, snoozing, combining inboxes, and working cross-platform. FO FREE ;-)

Mimestream was promising in beta. The subscription model is too much for me though.

Outlook is good. Apple mail is good. But I still like Spark the best, I think. But I dislike Spark’s terms of service and feel like they don’t respect my privacy or data.

I require a functional snooze feature so Apple Mail is out. Outlook randomly deletes iCloud emails and Canary is too slow. So I am left with Spark on both Mac and iOS.

Gonna pop out the controversial opinion here and say I like the default mail app. It’s quick, simple, and does everything I need. The only thing I don’t like is that gmail doesn’t get push mail, but Google did that not Apple.

I hate that unlike iOS, mail does not run in the background on Mac though.

I keep trying other mail apps but always come back to apples. It’s just the best, clean interface, always works. Even ended up ditching gmail and going all iCloud, yay privacy :)
