If you don't, I really like the Canary UI. If you do, then Outlook probably is best for you.

It all depends on your usage at the end of the day, and if you tend to work a lot with Excel, if you use your email as a task manager, etc.

I found offline handling of the 'Archive' folder problematic with Postbox, Canary did not have an option to designate folders to keep offline, etc. If you're using Exchange or Gmail, you will unlikely face this issue. This has more to do with the email server architecture my company uses (it's a proprietary IMAP architecture). Other email clients tend not to work too well with Excel (copies as images), and with HTML tables, etc.Īlthough this is not necessarily the case for everyone, I had issues with folder synchronization. By that, I mean Excel tables copy as tables, HTML content (mainly tables) copies as HTML tables. It's the only client that has 'real rich text editor' capability. I ultimately settled with MS Outlook for two reasons: All have pros and cons, with my least favorite of the bunch being Spark. I tried MS Outlook, Airmail, Spark, Postbox, and Canary Mail, to name a few. I get a lot of system generated notifications, and I need to keep tabs on a lot of topics/issues. To give context, I average around 250 emails per business day. You can swipe to the right or left to delete, archive, pin, or mark an email as unread.I've tried every email client I could get my hands on. It also has gesture-based actions for getting to inbox zero. This is invaluable when you regularly get emails that you need to respond to but don't have time for until the end of the day. Spark also allows you to snooze an email and come back to take care of it at a later time. Lastly, emails you've seen but haven't moved to another folder. Below that, there are emails you've flagged or tagged as necessary in some way. Below that, you'll see a section called 'Newsletters,' which is precisely that. Emails that look like alerts from companies you deal with, like your gas company or Amazon, include an alert or notification in a separate section.

That is, any email that is from someone in your contacts or otherwise looks like a personal email will be filtered to the top of the inbox list. Spark has this 'Smart Inbox' feature that separates mail into categories: Personal, Notifications, Newsletters, Pinned, and Seen.
