The Gmail and Outlook web apps aren't dire. I was looking for apps that supported major services, like Gmail and Office 365, as well as the IMAP and POP3 protocols so you could use most other options.Ī great user experience. Email apps should, where possible, be service agnostic. Apps that just added Gmail notifications to your menu bar and other similar features weren't included. You need to be able to read, write, search, and sort your mail. To put together this list, I reviewed dozens of Mac email clients (and skinned web apps purporting to be Mac email clients). For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog. We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. If you’re someone who doesn’t use a ton of email this app could be perfect for you since most of its main interface is really simple and well thought out.All of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software. The strength of the app’s design and its high and low-priority inboxes was what drew me to it in the first place, but until it adds in signatures and a less confusing email reading experience, I’m not sure I can commit to it as my main email app. There’s also nowhere to add an email signature of your own, so you have to type it out every time you send an email.Įven though the app has several problems, it’s still in early access so I can hope that a lot of these features get worked out as the developers spend more time refining Twobird. I much prefer how Gmail and some other mail apps sort emails. This means that as you scroll through a thread, you’ll see previously sent and received emails often. It also nests emails like older clients, which is a bit annoying. On top of this, the font sizes in the body text and the email headers are often close in size resulting in ill-defined spacing bad confusing layouts. Reading a thread of emails can be a chore since they often get disorganized if people have long signatures. While the main inbox layout is spectacular, there are some flaws. You can also invite other users to collaborate on your note even if they don’t have the app. You can even set the app to remind you of notes later making it function like a reminder app. Users can use ‘#’ beside words to turn them into headings, add checkboxes and tables plus a few other text formatting options for bold, italics and strikethrough. The ‘Notes’ section of the app is also simple and only features the bare necessity when it comes to writing tools. Even though there isn’t a lot of tools, the functions that are offered are all things that I use often, and the lack of overwhelming options helps keep your inbox simple to use. On the tools side of things, you can set Twobird to remind you of an email later, create a link to an email so you can easily share it and there’s also a ‘pinning’ option. The app also does a good job of sorting emails into high and low priority inboxes. This includes pops of colour, light and dark modes and a simple layout that is easy to understand. Building off of that, it features the same expert design on each version of the app too.
