An Excellent Desktop Mail Client
A huge improvement over OS X’s default mail client (Mail.app), Airmail offers a *far* better user experience (sometimes called “UX”) than any other desktop email client available today.
Pros:
+ Beautiful, fast, responsive interface
+ Easily integrate with multiple mail providers including standard IMAP/SMTP (not -just- Google Mail)
+ Markdown composition support
+ Keyboard shortcuts (I use the delete key a *lot*)
+ Great search support. Seems I always find what I need.
+ Companion iOS app, so you have the same/similar experience on desktop and mobile.
+ Multiple third-party API integrations. For example, I have mine set up to work with my Todoist account.
+ Helpful support staff (shout out to Sherlyn from bloop.it support, she was wicked fast to respond to a question I had)
Cons:
Unless you’re insanely picky about every. little. thing. in your mail client, and/or you’re a developer, there’s really not much to complain about. The app seems pretty efficient even when faced with my five separate email accounts simultaneously, each with more email than you can shake a stick at. I suppose one “meh” factor would be that I’d like to see some more interface themes, or better yet, a plugin system allowing developers to build custom interfaces on top of Airmail. But that’s not a drawback really, more of a icing-on-the-cake kinda thing.
Who should NOT buy this email client? Anyone who doesn’t use a real computer most of the time for work, etc. In other words, if you’re using your phone/tablet more than ~75% of the time to handle email, don’t buy this specific version because you won’t get much out of it. Instead, I recommend searching the iOS App Store for their iPhone/iPad version of Airmail and get that instead.
Otherwise, if you have serious email needs, this is by far the best thing on the market right now.
