Well, shit.

I don't think I've ever been "in love" with Postbox, but it's always done email reliably well that I never had to think about it. Plus, it never tried to be anything more than an email client - I never had to worry about it trying to be a "business workflow productivity tool" or anything, it just did email decently.

eM looks like exactly the kind of tool I _don't_ want.

It used to be more important to me that my email client also support Windows, but way less so now. (My Windows machine is just a gaming machine, and that's even only just until Windows 10 stops being actually usable for gaming.)

What's everyone favourite Mac "just an email client" email client?



Yes, I also don't want an email platform but just an email client (doing one thing well © Unix). I think I will try Thunderbird to see if it is a pleasure to use with a dozen email accounts, or I guess it will be Apple Mail or Spark. I want an email client for power users, not an app that hides (or is missing) functionality behind a beautiful UI. Moreover I really dislike the AI hype.


Mailmate may be just what you’re looking for. It’s fabulous for handling an enormous amount of accounts and emails at once imo, and the filtering tools for power users are second to none. So performant. And you can make it as pretty as you like if you know what you’re doing.


Spark. HN probably won't like it on account of HN reasons - but I've tried all the email clients over the years and this one is the one that has stuck the longest. Great on iOS too.


Apple Mail
