![]() There are some things in Canary that just makes me feel it is not my first choice, mainly due to the MacOS version. And since it works out of the box, I see no reason NOT to use it. Not of any importance to me, but to others I guess it can be a goods thing. They have a PGP-function built in to Canary. They have an integrated calendar, but I don’t use that function since it is very limited in comparison with Bus圜al. However, I haven’t found any such service in the Mac version, which makes Canary miss my requirenets. It integrates with a few other services and apps, and just as Spark iOS you can copy a link to the mail and paste it in to Bus圜al (or whatever calendar app you use). I can flag emails and they show up as flags in Apple mail. The makers will probably object to this, but to me as a personal user that don’t need much of the extra stuff all email app have under the hood, I don’t see much difference in my daily use. It works almost the same way as Spark as I see it. They have a beta version for both Mac and iOS so you can try it out before purchasing. Ok, so what about Canary mail? Yes, a very good mail app, especially if you are concerned abut your privacy on Internet. My guess is that this app is not really for personal users, but for companies. They have a free version, but that is so basic that there is no way I would use it instead of almost any other app. A very good email program but also with a very hight subscription cost that I just can’t find any reason to pay. ![]() But that is just their version of flags, and since the flags in Apple mail are so much better I can’t find anything in Airmail that makes me want to subscribe to it. OK it is true that they have some cool features - you can change colours of things, and you can snooze and you can even put stars on emails. Since I am a personal user and not a company I can’t see any reason to subscribe to something I don’t really need.Īirmail basically fetches emails provided from a service that has nothing to do with them. Now - I don’t mind subscription based apps if they do something that is essential. Last year they suddenly went from a paid app to subscription based, making all of us that actually already paid for it having to pay once again, and now monthly. Snooze, integration with Bus圜al (on Mac, not on iOS by some reason) and 2Do just to mention a few. It wasn’t perfect in any way, but it had some functions that I liked. I started to use an email app called Airmail, a commercial email app that I used on both my Mac and my iPhone. So I went on a hunt for the ultimate email app. When I started to use my iPhone more than my Mac to check and write mail, I was limited to Apple mail which in those days was - to be honest - crap. I did have Apples standard mail app on my computer aswell, but seldom used it. Then, since I used BBEdit as text editor, I tried Mailsmith and used that for a couple of years. Since it also was available on PC, some of you older non-Mac users might remmed er it aswell. Those of you who have used Mac since the old pre-unix days might have tried that one. So what are the apps I have tried, and why did I choose not to use them anymore? The first none-Apple standard email app I used was many many years ago and it was called Eudora. Outlook is the one that is standard there, so what I can do is change colours in the menu bar and such things. At work I have used Windows, but there my possibilities to choose my own apps has been limited. Now, it is important to say that I use macOS and iOS/iPadOS. To me that has not been an option so far, since maybe - just maybe - there’s that really ultimate email app somewhere and oooh the horror if I missed it. That is a very good question indeed, and easy for normal people to do. Now, you might think “why doesn’t he just choose one and stay with it?”. ![]() The apps I spend most time installing and uninstalling are email apps. And then install next update a week later and uninstall it again. And after opening it and closing it a few times I have uninstalled it. Regardless what it is supposed to do, regardless if I ever will have any use for it. I’m the type of person that whenever I see an app I just HAVE TO install it to try it out. ![]()
