At this point I'm confident that I've tried every email app currently available for Mac and all I can say is.... it's sad out there

What I want:
- Font customization for inbox and writing
- Domain avatars
- Single-line inbox with right reading pane
- Minimal shenanigans

Apps with all of those: 0

@airmailer is sooo close. But their message list uses an entirely custom scrolling physics engine that feels awful and they won't budge on it.
Mail.app lets you customize almost everything, but makes no effort to import domain avatars (or show them in column view)

@Edison_apps gets VERY close, but only lets you decide between 1 line view and reading pane, but not both. Also their font scaling system is very shenanigans.
@CanaryMailApp on the other hand looks it was designed for 1280x800 and anything else is a distressing concept to it

@SpikeNowHQ felt great but there's no way to fully turn off its smart inbox, or turn on a folder sidebar, and its overly aggressive sales cycle emails literally annoyed me into uninstalling it
@Postbox lets you customize every single thing except the things I care about

@newtonmailapp's pricing model is the definition of undeserved confidence
@MailPilotApp ensures me I am going to love it, when it is available, which is not yet

Which leaves me at @SparkMailApp, which is just inoffensive and unexciting enough to keep me using it while constantly looking for something else. Readdle please if your beta isn't super great I will die. Also can I please get in your beta immediately

I did not realize until this thread that I desperately needed a vent session. Thank u for the therapy

@Readdle pls

@heyhey says, we will give you the world if you will forsake one of the entire internet's most important open standards. if you don't like it then fuck you. also fuck you in general. also fuck you specifically
