#2Is there a way to detect if you have data loss? It sure looks like Mail has my emails, but I'm not sure…

Perhaps if the mail database were blockchained or at least merkle tree linked or otherwise metadata secured.

#5good LORD
if this is true how are we supposed to trust apple with our information?
BTW since updating my iPhone & iPad to iOS 13, and my desktop to MacOS 10.15, the Notes app does not propagate changes unless I force-quit the app and then restart it.
Entering a new note, and quitting the app, the new note does not propagate to my other devices. If I re-open the Notes app then the update happens. WTF
A walled garden ecosystem’s main raison d’etre is for everything to work together. If it doesn’t, it defeats the purpose.
I’ve been an Apple advocate for a long time but things are getting dicey. Perhaps my macs will turn into defacto expensive chromebooks. In other words use them to run chrome and in turn gsuite everything, and nothing else.
God awful

Looks decent, doesn't hog obscene amounts of memory (for me - I know others have different experiences, and this can vary based on more factors than worth explaining).
I also just use macOS/iOS Mail because FastMail can push notify to the clients, and FastMail's iOS app isn't ideal.

It's very fast (native app), it supports practically every type of mail account ever, everything can be stored locally (great for offline batch processing of emails), and there are keyboard shortcuts for everything. It takes a bit of customization to get a layout that works nicely for my workflow (I use the classic layout).
There are a bunch of other 'efficient' mail apps, but if you just need basic features and don't go for some exotic or trendy workflow, Mail works fine.
I don't upgrade to the latest OS for at least a few weeks, though, because if something like this is systemic, it will be fixed in the .1 or .2 release.
Also, always keep at least one local backup (I have Time Machine for that), and at least one remote backup.

#10Why do people use Mail? (genuine question)
It's built-in, fast, and works for what I need. Which is mostly skimming newsletters and then deleting them.
When I need a more featured alternative to something I'll use one (Things instead of Reminders, OneNote instead of Notes, VLC instead of QuickTime, etc) but email hasn't been one of those things.
Is there a reason that I should be looking at Mail alternatives? What important features is it lacking?
