Ask HN: Best developer friendly email client for macOS?

2 pointsby fstoover 2 years ago
Help the developer community and suggest an email client for MacOS that truly is the best according to you.<p>It feels like no developers I know is particularly happy with their (GUI) email client on MacOS.<p>I&#x27;m looking for one that:<p><pre><code> - Stays out of my way and lets me focus on emails. - Easy to use without a mouse - Minimal amount of clutter - Unifies Gmail &#x2F; Google inboxes and sent emails - Doesn&#x27;t cache every single email on my hard drive - Probably more, but you get where I&#x27;m going </code></pre> Clients I&#x27;ve tried extensively:<p><pre><code> - Spark - By far the best I&#x27;ve tried so far. But, and it hurts... I choose not to use them now that Ukraine is being invaded both geographically and digitally. In this case I&#x27;m rather safe than sorry. - Apple Mail - it works, but sparks absolute zero joy. - Twobird - I wish I loved them and I do in 80% of the cases. But they want to merge your todo list and email and as a consequence they don&#x27;t allow you to archive an email without clicking - two times. There are other similar examples caused by the fact that they really want to be a mix between a todo list and an email client. - Airmail - &quot;Apple Design Award 2017 Winner&quot;. 2017. - Mailbox - Discontinued after Dropbox acquired them.</code></pre>

I recently used Spike (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.spikenow.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.spikenow.com&#x2F;</a>), both desktop and mobile app. The I switched to Spark. Its probably not easy without mouse. And I also did not like the function that they automatically includes a tracking pixel to the mails. Anyways you may take a look.<p>BTW for private mails I use paid version of Tutanota with own domain, because of privacy aspects.

You could try Mailmate (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;freron.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;freron.com</a>), I think it ticks all your boxes. The stable is old, the beta is located at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;updates.mailmate-app.com&#x2F;2.0&#x2F;archives&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;updates.mailmate-app.com&#x2F;2.0&#x2F;archives&#x2F;</a>
