Ask HN: What email client do you use on OS X?
17 comments
AirMail 2 and Mail.app as I have three email accounts.
I cannot decide which one is best, because on one side AirMail is working very well with tags but Mail.app is much more well integrated in the system.
I really like Mailplane. All of the benefits of gmail in the browser (my preferred gmail interface) but wrapped in a native app for things like dock notifications, opening mailto links, etc.
Thunderbird. Not an amazing UI or UX, but it gets the job done.
Outlook 2015. Had a 5min delay receiving emails off Exchange server when using Mail.app. The new Outlook looks pretty sweet and works well
Airmail 2.
It's not without its own set of faults, but I find it nicer than Mail.
The lack of decent Exchange integration does let it down, but that's fine.

Airmail 2 (I was a bit frustrated because I had the Airmail 1 too and when 2 got released I had to pay for the upgrade)
Airmail 2. I use it with 1 Gmail account and 2 Zoho mail accounts, and everything works well.
I've been using Postbox for a while now. It's nice. I don't love it.
Airmail2. Its ok, search is meh but overall better than apple mail for my needs.
Gmail in chrome tab
Mail. Works good enough for what I need it to do.
mutt
mail.app, if only cos it's there and does the job.

Mailbox.app
Fluid App
I've been addicted to IMAP since my university days with Pine. Apple Mail had IMAP support when I first came to OS X, while very few other clients did. I've stuck with it, especially since it comes with the OS. It also supports multiple mail boxes which I relied on early too.
And I like the native UI, how it responds to drag and drop, interaction with the Dock, works with built in OS services, etc.
Also, relatively fast mail searching via Spotlight kept me hooked on mail. I suspect everybody else has caught up now.
