love the interface but lots of bugs
Despite being around for several years, Airmail is still full of bugs, making it a real pain to use it as your main email client. I am hiding "message details", as I prefer to see individual messages in separate windows. Here are the most obvious bugs I see:
(1) When you get a new email that is not part of a conversation, Airmail fails to display it. Either you need to close it and reopen it, or press command-J (load images) for the body of the email to actually show. This applies to any standalone email, whether it contains attachments or not. Ive been told by the support team that this is a known bug and they will fix it.
(2) Very often (~50% of the time) pressing delete (backspace) does not delete a message. You have to go into the menu and select "messages -> move to trash" by hand.
(3) Very very often Airmail does not collapse previous quoted emails in a message, resulting in pages and pages of junk in every message that you have to scroll through to see the next message. Why is it so difficult to detect quotes from previous emails?
(4) If I get a lot of new unread messages in a long conversation, Airmail has trouble differentiating between read and unread messages. I very often click on a conversation, and see some messages collapsed (read) and newer messages fully shown (unread), only to discover that many "read” messages are in fact new.
(5) With a conversation open, when you send an email, the conversation does not update to show the newly sent message.
