I have tried Polymail, Front and others. I haven't really found anything better to replace Gmail on Chrome.

I recently switched to Spark, which is both on macOS and iOS.

Same here. It's the only one that I've tried that actually syncs correctly with gmail and handles multiple accounts well.

Well I tried inbox by google for a while and must admit i preferred it over normal gmail.

But recently I switched back to Mac own mail app and am very happy.

i do plan on giving ms outlook for mac a try sometime though after reading this:

It seems like Spark doesn't support "labels"? Only inboxes?

I just use webmail clients that come with the mail services I subscribe to. This gives me portability across any number of clients.

Mail.app but only because integrated GPG support (with OpenGPG tools).

Mail.app. I haven't found anything else I like as much for handling inboxes from multiple accounts.

I like Airmail (http://airmailapp.com), they have a markdown mode which I enjoy since most the tools I use involve markdown
