No one else mentioned it, but Airmail is a great mail client. I like it more than Mail.app because it has Markdown support and the UI is pretty nice. You can decide whether or not those two alone are worth the $10.
On iOS I use the default mail app. It's always worked incredibly well for me, but I'm trying to shift over to Google's Inbox app. I think it's got some pretty cool features that make organising mail really easy.
On OS X I continue use Airmail. It's been my go-to mail app for desktop for a long time now. Looks great and has all the features I need.
If you don't need exchange support, my vote is Airmail, I love it and recommend it to people who don't need exchange as it's beautiful, extremely powerful, and is even extensible by plugins. It is a paid client though, Airmail site. I hope that helps!
There's a built-in Mail app, yep. However, there are also many others that can be more appealing depending on what you like — including Outlook, Airmail, and a bunch more to choose from. :)
⌘ (command) is sort of the key that precedes any other keys you don't want to actually type, but rather do something with (thus 'command'). For instance, as you might guess, ⌘
+V
does paste. ⌘
+shift
+3
takes a screenshot of your whole screen and saves it.
There's a whole bunch more that are really useful (like ⌘
+space
will bring up Spotlight where you can type a few characters and search all of your Mac instantly — really handy to quickly open a file or an app).
They might seem like a lot to remember to start with, but they become second nature in a sense. :)
Airmail - $2. http://airmailapp.com
I used to use Mail.app all the way back to the NeXT days. At a certain point though, it just seemed too old and creaky...and boring. I really liked Sparrow for both OSX and iOS. Then Google ought them. So Airmail is very close to what Sparrow was. It's my mail app of choice these days. Two dollars at the Mac App Store. Works great with IMAP, Gmail, Yahoo.
Be careful using Sparrow on the Mac. I stuck with it for a while after I learned they were ending development until I realized it completely missed some emails in my inbox – it was only after logging into the Gmail web client that I discovered this. I'd suggest you use Airmail instead. It's very similar to the look/feel of Sparrow.
Outlook is a professional e-mail client, Mail is a basic mail client so the feature set will not be comparable.
MailButler lets you do this in Mail.app, for free you'll be able to schedule e-mails 30 times per month, beyond that you have to choose one of their paid tiers of the service.
If you want to avoid monthly bills you can go with a third party clients that'll do this, like Airmail.
You can also do it for free, but more work, with Automator
Airmail has been great for me, insanely customizable, 3D Touch message reading, iPhone / iPad / Apple Watch / mac OS clients
Definitely worth a look, they just recently updated it to make it Siri enabled, added a watch OS 3 app / complication, and an iMessage app to share recent attachments in emails.
I went back and forth between CloudMagic and Airmail for a long time. I luckily settled on Airmail a while ago. There's no iOS beta right now but it's absolutely worth the $4.99 price if you liked CloudMagic. If you also use a Mac, you can get Airmail for macOS too. And you can try the Mac beta for free here.
PDF Expert will give you a share target to send to the app and create a PDF and sync to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.
Airmail has an action to open an email as PDF which you can then send to iCloud, Dropbox, etc. in the usual share menu fashion.
Any email client that supports IMAP would do this. As long as you setup your GMail's account as an IMAP account rather than a POP3 account this would work as you describe. IMAP is great because it does exactly this, stores all your mail and various folders (called Labels in Gmail) server side, so any client you use has all the mail and folders that you expect. See here for instructions on how to setup your client. Near the bottom of that page, put the dot next to "I want to enable IMAP", and it'll give you instructions for most major email clients (Apple Mail included).
*Quick Edit - I've been using and loving AirMail. While not free, it's not expensive and supports everything you asked for in a client, and it has no problems juggling 6 different GMail accounts (both GMail, and Google Apps for Domains addresses).
I've been enjoying Airmail for a while now. It's fantastic save one thing, every so often it seems to eat CPU cycles like a fuckin' madman, nuking my battery life. I'm hopeful this is because i'm on 10.10 dev preview, or it's something the devs are working on.
They killed of Exchange support? I kind of dislike the current Mail.app so I use Airmail. Also kind of despise the Calendar app interface, so for that I just use Google's calendar.google.com webapp. If anyone knows of a capable native OS X app that syncs flawlessly with Google Calendar?
I’ve been using Airmail on macOS and iOS exclusively for a couple of years now.
More functionality that you can shake a stick at, and rules etc sync between my devices, which is great.
Why keep screwing with gmail?
Why not use Mail.app (I use Airmail instead)?
Why not use an checker extension? Gmail Checker Plus will notify you and allow you to respond to emails.
Have you tried inbox.google.com?
Microsoft Lookout and Apple Mail have sold a lot of licenses for Airmail 2, I'd wager. Especially to justifiably desperate GMail users.
No skin in the company; purely a delighted customer.
What do you mean by "integrates with..."? Are you trying to create workflows based on the kind of email you receive? I guess in this case it doesn't really depend on the email client, but how you configure IFTTT. There are plenty of gmail recipes: https://ifttt.com/recipes/search?q=gmail&ac=false
Personally, I'm using Airmail for the 3 email accounts I'm using and don't have any problems: http://airmailapp.com/
Well, I'm not sure what to tell you. It has finally been pulled from the App Store, so I can't even install it myself. I think it's time to let it go.
However, if you like the Sparrow look, then you should try Airmail. It was designed after Sparrow ceased development, and was designed to have a similar look and feel, but has the added benefit that it's actively developed. There's even an iOS version in beta right now.
I stopped using Apple Mail (iOS and OS X) a while ago because of too many issues and a latency bug that just wouldn't go and that Apple couldn't fix and I'm definitely not going back. I use Airmail on my Macs and CloudMagic on my iOS devices.
Never been happier.
I think you should give Unibox or Airmail a try. Unibox is a little bit 'confusing' in the first place but you will get used to it pretty soon. https://www.uniboxapp.com
But if you are looking for something that looks similar to sparrow - try Airmail http://airmailapp.com
For anyone to take a guess what might be the issue you need to give more information than that. What OSX are you using, version of Safari, what model and year is your mac, does the issue persist with different internet connections?
Gmail appears fine here on my end running on a 2010 MBA with the latest version of Safari. But I don't use Gmail's web interface and have neither Flash or an occupied Inbox that might have Gmail running overtime.
To test if it's an issue with your account or cache, activate the guest account, use it and make a new Gmail-account to see if you run into any performance issue. If not, log in with your usual Gmail account on the Guest user to see if it's the account.
If you can't use Chrome and Safari is giving you trouble, consider an e-mail client. If Mail.app is a bit too conservative, check out Airmail.
