I regularly try Apple Mail on MacOS, but I'm never satisfied. In few words:

I need something like “smart notifications” to only notify for important emails, and not all my incoming emails
Group emails (like what Gmail do), for exemple Newsletters, Notifications/ Promotional, …

If possible, I would like to use the same app on MacOS and iOS (iPad & iPhone). But Apple Mail is the worst app I've ever tested…

I’m currently using Spark (Desktop on MacOS + app on iPhone & iPad), the app is really good but not in term on privacy, dependent to a 3rd party, ….

What are you using for your emails on MacOS?

I've tried all kinds of apps but in the end I fall back to Mail.app

same here. I tried Spark, Edison Mail, Canary and one more that I don’t remember the name. Every time I’m coming back to Apple Mail.

It’s not perfect, but I love having my mail app simple.

I used Spark for an extended time and was happy with that. Then they started launching their "upgrades" crap with AI+ and everything else and I only got frustrated with their design and technology desicions.

What really pushed me over the edge was that they removed the "compose" button from their main UI in a update/pre-release. Reached out to their support since it surely must have been a bug, you can't have an e-mail client without a compose button I thought.

Nope, it was a deliberat desicions, wasn't needed. You are supposed to use keyboard shortcuts instead.

Got fed up and returned to Mail.app.

Don't like it but it's better than Spark and all of the other options out there.

I settled with Spark, I come from iOS and it was my replacement to Mailbox app, I still miss it though.
