Jun 02, 2015 The Gmail mobile app lets you read and reply to messages from not only your Gmail account, but also your Yahoo Mail address, Microsoft Office 365 account, and others. In addition to being email clients, the apps in this list meet other criteria, such as being in a state of full release. Jul 31, 2016 You could also look for a third-party email client on the Mac App Store or elsewhere. Other email clients should offer an option to store less emails offline and limit the size of our cache to a manageable size. To stop using the Mail app, first disable or delete your email accounts. Click the Mail menu in Mail and select Accounts.
Emailing is probably the activity we do the most on our computers. Even if you don't work on a computer during the day, you probably sit down in front of it to check your inbox at the end of the day. If the Mail app that comes with your Mac doesn't provide the features you need, you're in luck. There are dozens of great email apps in the Mac App Store. I've tested many of them and these are my favorites. Each one has a little something special that makes it unique.
Polymail
Polymail for Mac has a fantastic interface with cute buttons everywhere so you don't have to think about what to do next. It actually looks like it belongs on a mobile device, except that you click the buttons instead of tapping them.
There is a fourth section that appears whenever you select an email, which displays all of the past correspondences you've had with that particular contact or group of contacts. It's great for quickly tracking down something you've talked about in the past.
You can set up new mail with a pre-made template, send calendar invites, get notifications when someone has read your email, and schedule an email to be sent at a later time.
You can also write or respond to emails with rich text formatting. So, if you want to change the font, add bold lettering, bullet point a section, or just slap an emoji in there, it's all available right from the toolbar at the top of your new email. The only thing it's missing is Touch Bar support, which would really make this app shine.
Polymail can be used for free, but you'll need to sign up for a subscription if you want all of the awesome features that make Polymail stand out, like read notifications, send later, and messaging templates. You can add these features for as low as $10 per month. If you are a heavy email user and these features entice you, give the free trial a run to see if it's worth your money.

If you want your computer email experience to look and feel more like a mobile experience, with big, easy-to-find action buttons, Polymail is the one for you.
Spark
Spark has this 'Smart Inbox' feature that separates mail into categories: Personal, Notifications, Newsletters, Pinned, and Seen. That is, any email that is from someone in your contacts or otherwise looks like a personal email will be filtered to the top of the inbox list. Below that, in a separate section, emails that look like alerts from companies you deal with, like your gas company or Amazon, that include some kind of alert or notification. Below that, you'll see a section called 'Newsletters' which is exactly that. Below that, there are emails you've flagged or tagged as important in some way. Lastly, emails you've seen, but haven't moved to another folder.
Spark also allows you to snooze an email and come back to take care of it at a later time. This is invaluable when you regularly get emails that you need to respond to but don't have time for until the end of the day. I use it all of the time.
It also has gesture-based actions for getting to inbox zero. You can swipe to the right or left to delete, archive, pin, or, mark an email as unread.
And it has Touch Bar support, which I love.
Spark is best for people that like to have their inbox organized before they go through and move emails to new folders, address them, or delete them entirely. If that sounds appealing to you, try Spark.
Kiwi for Gmail
If you have one or more Gmail accounts, you should consider switching to Kiwi. This all-in-one triumph brings the look and feel of Gmail for the web to the desktop in the form of an app. With the service's unique Focus Filtered Inbox, you can view your messages based on Date, Importance, Unread, Attachments, and Starred. In doing so, you can prioritize your emails in real-time.
Perhaps the best reason to use Kiwi for Gmail is its G Suite integration. Thanks to the app, you now get to experience Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, as windowed desktop applications. Kiwi is available for Mac and Windows.
Postbox
New on our list for 2020, Postbox has been designed for professionals, but anyone with more than one email account should continue using it. Available for Mac and Windows, Postbox works with any IMAP or POP account, including Gmail, iCloud, Office 365, and more.
Postbox offers one of the fastest email search engines available, which is ideally suited when you need to find files, images, and other attachments. With the app's built-in Quick Bar, you can move a message, copy a message, switch folders, tag a message, Gmail label a message, or switch folders with just a few keystrokes.
Looking for more? Postbox comes with 24 (counting) themes, and much more.

Junk Mail Behaviors

Enable junk mail filtering | Turn Mail’s junk mail filter on or off. If your email account filters junk mail on the mail server, messages might be moved to the Junk mailbox even when this option isn’t selected. |
Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox | Highlight junk mail with color and leave it in your Inbox. These messages contain a banner across the top with a button to confirm whether the message is junk. This setting is useful for monitoring what Mail considers junk mail. |
Move it to the Junk mailbox | Mail automatically moves messages that it considers junk to the Junk mailbox. This setting is useful when you’re confident that Mail correctly identifies junk mail and you don’t want those messages in your inbox. |
Perform custom actions | Refine the junk mail filter by adding conditions to identify junk mail, and actions such as deleting those messages. When you select this option, you can set advanced criteria to identify junk mail. |
The following types of messages are exempt from junk mail filtering | Don’t filter messages from senders who are in the Contacts app, you’ve previously corresponded with, or know your full name. |
Trust junk mail headers in messages | Use any junk mail detection already present in messages you receive. Mail uses this information to more accurately identify junk mail. |
Filter junk mail before applying my rules | Mail runs the junk mail filter before it runs any rules that you created. This option ensures that all messages, even those that your rules might move out of the Inbox, are evaluated by the junk filter. |
Reset | Restore the default criteria for identifying junk mail. Use this option only if Mail no longer handles junk mail as you expect. Resetting the filter deletes everything that Mail has learned from you about junk mail. |
Advanced | Set criteria that messages must meet to be identified as junk mail. This option is available only when you select “Perform custom actions.” |
