Instead, devs are forced to code around it which is expensive for them and makes for too many compromises, in my opinion. If Google would just use IMAP standards, the email app market would be flush with great choices. It’s too bad, because it looks really nice on the surface. It has way too many features that don’t work – according to the developer’s site, there’s nothing he can do about it, again because Google doesn’t allow it in their API. It uses Google’s APIs instead of standard IMAP – which means the app can just stop working any time Google decides to mess with the API (which is what killed Mailplane) It’s (going to be) a paid app – I don’t mind paying for apps, but for my use case, it just isn’t warranted when there are free options (Apple’s Mail, and the web browser) Our review ( ) also praises its close cooperation with Dropbox and Evernote.Mimestream ticks all the features I DON’T want, unfortunately. You can post to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn from within Postbox.

But the integration with other services doesn’t stop with Google. It lets you use Gmail labels, your Gmail archive, and Gmail-style keyboard shortcuts. The $10 Postbox (free demo available) is very Gmail friendly. If you want a single app that does all that, it might be for you. It’s also a task manager, calendar, and contact database. But what if you already own Office and you need an Exchange client on the Mac? In that case, Microsoft’s offering starts to look pretty darn good ( ).

You can’t buy Microsoft’s email client separately it’s only available as part of Microsoft Office (prices vary $220 for Office for Mac Home & Business version). It doesn’t have all the features found in Apple’s Mail, but it has a easy-to-use user interface and it can also be used for RSS feeds. You’re probably familiar with the Opera browser, but you may not know about the free Opera Mail email client.

Binary Baker’s MailPop for Gmail (free) (See Macworld’s review of the $3 Pro version).These apps tend to have the minimum features required to read email, but they offer quick access.

Search for “email” in the Mac App Store, and you’ll find few full-featured apps, and several Gmail clients that give you access though a menu-bar icon. Though the company encrypts your information, it’s worth considering whether this security issue concerns you. In our review ( ) we found a lot to like about the fact you can install Inky on as many different computers as you want, accessing multiple email accounts through a single convenient login. What might turn some people off is that Inky makes the magic happen by storing your account details in the cloud. A 40-day trial version is available, and a license is $18.Īrcode’s free Inky offers both a cleverly designed interface and an attractive price (free).

The developer, GyazSquare, says it still supports the software and that the app works with Mavericks. Macworld reviewed GyazMail 1.2 in 2005 version 1.5.15 was released in early January 2013. You can also use FoxMail with Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, and other services. If you happen to use Tencent’s services (such as instant messaging and group chat), you can use FoxMail to access your qq.com mail. The Chinese developer Tencent created a Windows version for FoxMail for several years before releasing a free Mac version, too. You’d probably get a laugh out of longtime Mac users if you told them you ditched Apple Mail for Eudora. The latest version is based on code from Mozilla’s Thunderbird email client. Although the company abandoned the app, it’s been kept alive as a free open-source project called Eudora OSE. Back in the 1990s, Qualcomm’s Eudora was one of the most popular email clients around.
