Spike is one of the most unique takes I’ve seen on. If you have a few Gmail accounts, and you are happy. Before I look at the various email apps for Mac, I want to mention one other app. Comment: What’s the best email app for the Mac (Updated for 2021) Gmail for Mac.
![]() ![]() To sum up, it’s one of the best free Apple Mail alternatives for Mac.Thank you for your review. Though Canary doesn’t have a rich user-interface, you will have very little to complain about. The support for Gmail, iCloud, Office365, Yahoo, Exchange, IMAP, and ProtonMail accounts offer you the freedom to add any type of email account and keep a tab on it with ease.Features like the read-notifications, one-click unsubscribe, snooze, templates, contact profiles, and a full-fledged calendar make it a safe bet for managing emails. All of the rest want to store your logins and mail on their servers so they can read and process them according to their features and privacy policy (some may be outright selling your email data to third parties).1. They also become targets for hackers as they are hubs of many logins to third party email servers.Out of the list above, I believe its only Postbox, Canary and possibly Airmail that are TRULY alternatives to Apple Mail. Essentially they receive and read all your email.

(this is on a mac pro with 256gb ram & SSDs too)If you don’t care about your email privacy / security – I’m sure those cloud-based services are wondrous for evolving email. Apple mail most the features needed, but man I can’t type an email while it beachballs every 10 keystrokes. I did not find this app to be helping my productivity, and if I recall, it had the same problem as Postbox.Unfortunately, I’ve tried to replace Apple Mail due to its beachballing clunkyness under heavy mail load, but have been unsuccessful. When you have over a dozen mailboxes clicking on stupid little profile avatars for each mailbox before you get your imap folder list is stupid. Screw their “design” award, this app is ugly.
