Pretty cool. I wish it supported regular IMAP accounts. We could use a modern general mail client. Gmail is quite well-served already.

The new Outlook iOS app is pretty slick, and works just fine with regular IMAP accounts.

How do you add a regular IMAP account to it on iPhone? I don't see any options!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've been using Airmail for about 3 months. It's nice but has many frustrations in the UI - especially when dealing with large message threads.

I have been using Airmail for about an year. It like it, and live with its issues such as slow startup (because I have many mailboxes), and irresponsive when network changes or when machine wakes from standby; I have to always force quit it.

That's basically the same list of issues that Sparrow had.

I just don't want to take read/dealt-with emails out of my inbox. Which Mailbox can be configured to work with - only it shows 4,400 "unread" messages as a badge icon. The options available in-app are "always show 1," "show number of messages in inbox," and "never show any" I want to see the number of unread messages in the inbox only. Not the total number. Not an arbitrary number. Not zero. Is that too much to ask?…

It's not like they're gone. They just in your archive, two taps away. It's a much more organized way to deal with email, at least for me.

But they're also moved upstream at the IMAP provider, no? Anway, the problem is that it doesn't work unless you exclusively use their client/their method..

I can't help but think they have given up on the Mac client. It's been at version 0.3.14 for an unbelievably long amount of time--so long that I've just gone back to Mac Mail.

On the topic of OSX clients, especially for Gmail, I've been really liking Mailplane after trying most of the options. All the benefits of the gmail.com interface (which I like) while I still get a native app with a badge icon.
