Hands-down the best 3rd party email client for Mac

Airmail is beautiful, reliable, powerful, and flexible. I have a few minor quibbles with the visual/UI design, but they’re mostly just minor execution-level niggles. The UI concept and palette are great and go a long way to making me feel less stressed out by my email.

I’ve had no reliability issues with any of my accounts, but I only use Airmail for Gmail accounts. Several, though, of different types (one standard, one Google Apps for Business, on Google Corporate). As a heavy Gmail user, I would love to see more support of Gmail-specific features, but that has obvious downsides and challenges so I won’t hold it against them.

As for the 1-star reviews (56 of them!), I simply have no explanation. Airmail is so far beyond every other 3rd party email client I’ve tried—I can’t imagine someone thinking it’s only one 1 star, even if it turned out not to be the right solution for them. People are weird.

Inappropriate shoutout for Polymail, the new kid on the block, which looks like it might be the only other contender for my email app loyalty. If you don’t like this one, try that one. And Spark for iPhone. Ok, enough of that. Sorry, Airmail dudes. You still get the 5-star review, though.
