I'm really enjoying spark ( https://sparkmailapp.com ). I would try Nylas, but snooze is an absolute deal breaker for me. I'd highly recommend making that a free feature.

Thunderbird is not EOL. Disclaimer: I am a Thunderbird developer.
It's been over 1 year since a blog post on the Thunderbird blog [0]. Is there any possibility for an update? Maybe something like "All the cool things we worked on in 2016?" (E: I realize 'developer' does not necessarily mean 'part of the Mozilla team developing it/in charge of the blog' but you may have better contact with someone who can get this done than I have. :] ) It was to my understanding that development, o…
For me, I would be super happy if the feature set of Thunderbird were frozen and future updates only fixed bugs and improved performance.

An app that doesn't do anything in the background won't use any resources, doesn't matter if it is built on webkit/electron. Unless you have a huge volume of email, then Nylas should not be power hungry. I for one am grateful for web apps and for webkit/electron desktop apps. Without these taking off, the Linux desktop would be dead for me.
I admit I do have tons of emails, but It would be hard to find a programmer who doesn't have tons of emails these days. What with bunch of github notifications, mailing lists - I am always sitting at more emails than I can possibly handle. Heck even my company-id has lots and lots of emails. Jenkins integrations notifications, travis, cron job failures and what not. I naturally filter both my person and company accou…
If I'm reading emails it means I'm not working or enjoying myself. And I'm not dev-ops, which means I'm not getting payed to keep the systems up and running at night.
I'm also practicing my own extreme version of "inbox zero". Whenever my Inbox reaches 100 emails, I select them all, mark as read, then archive. Information loses value as time passes and I figure that if there was anything important in there that hasn't caught my attention and that I did not answer, then one of my colleagues will surely buzz me about it. Worked fine thus far. And because I'm regularly removing noise, it means I have a higher chance of actually noticing important messages.
Writing this message reminded me that I've got 40+ unread emails in my Inbox. Marked as read, archived, now it's a solved problem.
I use Nylas but I recently had to move from a 2013 MBP to a 2008 MBP and it shows how unresponsive the UI is. I'd like to use something such as mutt but I find it very unfriendly.
Spark and Polymail are two other options. I'm personally a fan of how easily it's to setup your own keyboard shortcuts in Spark.

What are the feature differences between this and Apple's Mail.app? They look the same, on the surface.

Neither MS Outlook nor GMail use a tracking pixel. Such pixel are only used by newsletter or shaddy spam senders.
There are other mail clients that use tracking pixels, like Polymail and Canary.

Unfortunately, standardization != widespread use. Tracking pixels are still the most reliable way to know whether a recipient (or many) opened your message.
Unless your recipients use email clients that don't load remote http images except on demand. I can think of one email client with ~15 million users that does that.
I open the page and have no idea what Nylas is. I click on the logo and I'm taken to the blog home page, where 60% of the screen is the Nylas logo with no subheader telling me what it is. I click on it again and it just refreshes the blog index. No link to nylas.com. How do so many people make the same mistake?

There are serious privacy concerns[1] with spark though. One alternative to Polymail which is not often discussed is Canary Mail[2], which I've always found to be reliable and good looking. [1]- https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/5grsan/do_not_use_... [2]- https://canarymail.io
