SlideMail 2.0 – An open experiment to create a better email client

I am always lookout for a good email client (iOS and OS X). I used Sparrow years after it was acquired by Google and had no support. It was a great email client. Surprisingly, the iOS client that works for me now is Outlook.<p>I just checkout out SlideMail from app store (1.0, I guess?) Looks simple and well designed, but confusing UX. Why &#x27;All Mail&#x27; is called &#x27;Done&#x27;? Compose makes it easy to pick the recipients, but there is no way to see their email address. It just shows their name and picture. I can&#x27;t tell if I am sending an email to their work email or personal.<p>Would be cool to try out v2.

&gt;If you’re on iOS <i>and have a Gmail account</i><p>Should have called it a better gmail client.

Spark Mail already does what SlideMail aims to do really well.<p>Important emails are consistently shown at the top. It does that so well that I don&#x27;t even see all the incoming noise that would otherwise bury the important stuff, though its all there when I&#x27;m ready to look. When I check the same mailboxes via other clients, it&#x27;s just chaos.<p>Swipes and snoozes like Mailbox, but you don&#x27;t give them server-side access to your data like Mailbox does. Nor do they have Condi Rice on their board.<p>Amazing degree of configurability. Saved searches, customized swipe actions, integrations with Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, Evernote, OneNote, Readability, Pocket, Instapaper.<p>I&#x27;ve tried so many clients. This is the one.
