What’s wrong with the built-in Mail app btw? I use it in daily basis and it’s pretty good to get its job done.

#13I love https://www.uniboxapp.com/, mainly for the way it treats mail as a continuing conversation like iMessage. It hasn't been updated in a while, but works well. I can't go back to the dreaded thread layout of most mail clients at this point.

Seconded. I've never had the desire to use a different native client.

#15mutt in your terminal of choice, to a local Maildir structure synced from your IMAP server, plus your search utility of choice.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. It works for a lot of people I know, is modular, stable, open-source and works across the Unixen.
The obvious tradeoff the relative lack of polish and overhead during initial setup, but if you're willing to put up with that it's a fine choice.

#16Spark does pretty well for me. Nice inbox features and search functions.
+1 for Spark. I know there are other clients that have snooze and ‘send later’ functions, but I’ve been using Spark for a couple of years and haven’t really had any complaints.

#17I started using spark since google announced discontinuing inbox. Works really well between iOS and macOS.
