For the first time in many years, I was on the lookout for a new email client software. Anyway, Apple Mail has become a slow, unreliable application although they have fixed some of the more severe problems in the latest release. The blame has to be put on Google for not following standards but is a significant player you can pretty much set your own rules. So they use tags instead of folders, etc. I have my email domain on Google Apps, and I know that Gmail doesn’t follow the IMAP standard, instead choosing to do it their way. It’s weird because the iOS Mail app is rock solid. Airmail, my new favorite mail clientĪfter Mac OS X 10.8, Apple Mail has been going downhill by every update. But hopefully, they’ll fix that in the coming months. In a perfect world, it should have been a universal app. Yay! The only complaint is that they did the app for iPhone only and not an iPad version. It also syncs your settings from your Mac OS X application, so now I have an HTML signature on my iPhone. Now there’s even an excellent version for Airmail for iOS. And let’s face it, Google changed a lot from the original IMAP standard, so everyone had to keep up. I guess Apple has probably fixed a lot of the problems they had back then when connecting to Gmail. I’m still using Airmail now, two years after I wrote this post. It never crashes, and the search is fast and excellent. Still my favorite email client, and I’m now also blessed with a version for iPad and my iPhone.
