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?
Not the best advice I can give you. Spark mail client, what looks really beautiful on the outside hides a lot of sorrow underneath, if only you find the time to go through their T&C’s, 2-3y ago when I checked, there was a clause there that was saying they’re allowed to download ALL your emails — which to me is a mental breach to privacy.
I’ve arrived at an age that beautiful UI/UX does not sell it for me anymore unless I get privacy — privacy on should be default IMO; but sadly, we live in a world where this became tabu nowadays… which is quite unfortunate. Personally I just stick with Apple Mail; I receive emails, I can reply back, it’s private enough — enough for me.
I agree with you, I totally understand your point about “beautiful UX/UI vs privacy, privacy win”. That’s the whole point of my question. I currently use Spark because it’s convenient, but I dislike this kind of tool / platform / services and I’m trying to find alternatives. Even if I loose a bit on the “practical” side…
