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?

It’s AirMail for me. I use this many years already and happy with it. I don’t like the subscription tho and lately nothing new is coming. It seems it’s more of a cash cow now for the developers. And sometimes strange behaviors, but still the one for me.

Subscriptions for an email client is insane to me, especially if the developer(s) have no other project. Show me your second act.

True, but what are good “free” solutions where you aren’t the product yourself?

Oh, definitely don’t expect or want free. But charge me once. Don’t make me pay you in perpetuity. Then, go make more things and I’ll buy those too.

Adobe and CC made being beholden to a subscription for software the norm and I despise them for it. Luckily some fantastic alternatives were born from it.
