Mimestream was promising in beta. The subscription model is too much for me though.
Outlook is good. Apple mail is good. But I still like Spark the best, I think. But I dislike Spark’s terms of service and feel like they don’t respect my privacy or data.
I’ve tried them all and feel that Outlook (for Mac options) is probably the best. $2/mo is acceptable, and it’s free with light ads. It surfaces cal and shipping info in the email list, and the focus inbox algo it has is solid.
I was using Spark for years and was fine paying them money (I wanted to pay them because their old app was great), but their pivot to the new app was just really disrespectful to users and turned me off. It came with condescending BS like the Home Screen that does not show my email when I open an email app*. They released a massively underbaked app, and took 6 months to reach parity with their old app. I paid for a year, will not renew.
Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. I really enjoy spark on both iOS and Mac OS. But as I am learning and adapting more into the fediverse and FOSS I am considering looking for an alternative client.
When the pricing came out it was so disappointing.
I understand why developers want subscription models, but I simply cannot pay them monthly in perpetuity based on a promise that they will update the app so much that it’s value will increase in accordance with the monthly payments.
