That’s what it’s meant to do so beautifully and efficiently. Still, Spark is clearly the winner at defeating an overwhelming inbox. Folders and labels exist already on top of these, as does Snooze. The feature seems a bit redundant to me though. They’re somewhat like labels: To Do, Memo, and Done. It creates dedicated folders on top of the ones you already have to help with organization. Airmail isn’t quite as smart.Īirmail does have one unique productivity feature. I could search “emails with a JPG attachment” and I’ll get every email with a JPG file instantly. Spark gets the edge because it lets you type with natural language. Both apps have solid, powerful search too with lots of refinement options.

For instance, a swipe from the left in Spark gives me the option to archive or delete an email, while Airmail only lets me archive. They’re customizable, but Spark has double the options per swipe. Spark and Airmail both have swiping gestures to quickly take action on an email too. Snoozing will remove an email temporarily then bring it back to your inbox as a reminder at a time and date you specify.

Pinning an email keeps it fresh and stable in your inbox until you decide to get rid of it, even if you already moved it to the archive. If you don’t feel like dealing with newsletters today, mark them and move on. With one click you can archive or mark all the emails in a particular category as read. Additionally, Spark has optional smart notifications too which only notify you of personal stuff, leaving the rest to be seen later. Spark categorizes any remaining emails together at the bottom. Personal ones show at the top from regular users like you and me, notifications are underneath from various services, and below that are newsletters. New messages get divided into three categories. Right off the bat, Spark uses its Smart Inbox to organize emails based on type.

Spark was built from the ground up to handle email overload and get users to that magical place known as inbox zero, i.e. The big problem with email nowadays is that most people just get way too many emails per day. Mail clients are supposed to manage mail and reduce clutter, but many still don’t do a good job. Spark was built from the ground up to handle email overload. The level of customization is unparalleled and the features you can enable turn it from a regular email client into a productivity machine. Airmail is an app for the most demanding. It excellently balances features you need with its own prioritization for a smart inbox plus tools that enhance that.

Spark manages to have a clean and sophisticated design. Linking Droplr automatically uploads your file attachments to the cloud or linking Wunderlist lets you quickly save messages in a to-do list. Link services like Wunderlist, Droplr, Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote and more to see relevant tasks in your menus. I can’t think of anything I’d want to change about Airmail that I can’t already do from the Preferences.Īirmail even integrates with several third-party apps. Hide or show sidebars or parts of them, tweak the menu bar shortcuts, edit folders and snoozes, change the entire appearance with several themes… the possibilities are incredible. You can make Airmail into pretty much anything you want to. Even though Spark lets you customize swipe gestures, the Smart Inbox, signatures, keyboard shortcuts, folders, snooze times, and much more, Airmail still comes out on top in this category. Airmail and Spark have thoughtful designs that are respectful of the macOS Sierra aesthetic.
