These are our favorite desktop email clients for Mac, in no particular order. Inky ()Inky talks about itself as being an alternative to Outlook. Supports Email Address Internationalization (EAI). [102] [ better source needed ] [ discuss ] As of October 2016, email clients supporting SMTPUTF8 included Outlook 2016, [103] mail for iOS, and mail for Android.
Checking and sending emails are probably the most frequent things we do on our smartphones and often times the stock email client on our Android devices leaves a lot to be desired.
With that in mind we’ve compiled a list of the eight best email clients for Android based on informal polling of our friends and colleagues and scouring the web for reviews.
But first: a note on email security.
Security. Especially when you’re talking about email is very important. You have so much important data contained inside your emails, whether personal or work-related, the idea of it being compromised in anyway is kind of scary.
There are a myriad of solutions out there, however, that add in vital layers of protection through encryption. Symantec’s Desktop Email Encryption, for example, will automatically encrypt, decrypt and verify and scan all messages coming and going from your inbox.
It supports the following desktop email clients:
- Microsoft Outlook® 2007 to 2016
- Exchange®(on-premise)/Office® 365 Cloud Server
- Microsoft Windows Live Mail version 2012
- Mozilla Thunderbird® 38.3
- Lotus Notes®/Domino Server 8.5.3, 9.0.1 Fix Pack 4
- Apple Mail 8.x, 9.x, 10.x
- Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
- Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac
You can also add on mobile-support with your purchase and make your phone’s email as secure as your desktop’s. This kind of technology might not be very sexy, but in the age of hackers it is VERY important to protect your data, both on your phone and your PC. You do not want to find out what it’s like getting caught with your pants down. Not when it comes to stuff like this.
The email apps below are listed in alphabetical order and while none of them are one-size-fits-all you’re sure to find one that helps make reaching zero inbox easy.
TypeApp (free)
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”content_full_width”,”fid”:”37449″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”325″,”width”:”620″}}]]
Out of all the apps on this list TypeApp is the most gorgeously designed. But what I really like about TypeApp is it acts like a to do list and an alarm clock. When you get an email you can simply swipe it to delete it or swipe it to mark it as “Done.” However, what’s really cool is that you can also snooze messages, so you’ll get an alert to look at them again at a later time. The default snooze length is three hours, but you can set you own time span as well. Best of all TypeApp supports Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, AOL, Google Apps, Hotmail, Outlook, iCloud, Mail.ru, Zoho, GMX and virtually any other IMAP email account.
Microsoft Outlook (free)
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”content_full_width”,”fid”:”37450″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”326″,”width”:”620″}}]]
Microsoft has brought its new Outlook email client to Android. Not only does it feature a wide array of swipe gestures, it offers powerful cloud storage integration, works with a number of email services, and has your calendar built in. It’s free too, so well worth trying out.
CloudMagic (free)
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”content_full_width”,”fid”:”37451″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”329″,”width”:”620″}}]]
CloudMagic provides a unified inbox for all your email accounts including Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, iCloud, Google Apps, Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, AOL and other IMAP accounts. As with its iOS counterpart, the Android app has a nice, flat design and the app has a very easy setup process. Another really nice thing is that it’s got full integration with Salesforce.com, Zendesk, Pocket, Evernote, OneNote, Trello and MailChimp so you can perform quick actions on your email right from the app.
Gmail (free)
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”content_full_width”,”fid”:”37452″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”339″,”width”:”620″}}]]
If you’re a big Gmail user you’re going to want to download this official Gmail client from Google. It doesn’t have near as many cool features as other email apps on this list–and it only works with Gmail email accounts–but if Gmail is the only email you use, this app should be golden. Stellar features include powerful search (of course), nice notifications, and an interface that melds with the web-based Gmail interface nicely. Another nice feature is the ability to insert Google Drive files directly into messages.
K-9 Mail (free)
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”content_full_width”,”fid”:”37453″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”323″,”width”:”620″}}]]
K-9 Mail is a great email client if you’re into the open source software movement. Matter of fact, it’s probably one of the most stable open source email clients I’ve ever used. And though I think the design looks a bit stale and 1990s-like, the app is packed with features including multi-folder syncing, flagging, filing, signatures, PGP, as well as the ability to save emails and attachments to SD cards and much, much more. If email productivity is your thing, you’ll not find an app on this list that offers more features than K-9.
Molto (free)
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”content_full_width”,”fid”:”37454″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”546″,”width”:”620″}}]]
Molto is an email client that also ties into your social media messages and gives you all your information in one place. As for email accounts it supports Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL., Outlook.com/Hotmail, POP3 and IMAP. It’s got a clever, slick design that is something of a cross between a Facebook news feed and a Twitter timeline. And while I know social media users will love this app, users who are classified as “power email users” might do better looking at other apps on this list.
myMail (free)
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”content_full_width”,”fid”:”37455″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”415″,”width”:”620″}}]]
myMail is the second-best designed app on this list. I love its red and black color scheme, simplified interface, and beautiful glyphs. Indeed, this app put design front and center with photo avatars for your email contacts so you can see who is sending you an email with just a glance. I also love how picture attachments appear as thumbnails across the top of an email–not tapping and image to see what it is. myMail supports Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, iCloud, Hotmail, Outlook.com, GMX and most IMAP and POP3 email accounts.
Boxer (free)
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”content_full_width”,”fid”:”37456″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”332″,”width”:”620″}}]]
Boxer is one of the most feature-rich email apps I’ve found. Boxer supports all major email providers including Microsoft Exchange (ActiveSync), Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, Outlook.com/Hotmail, and IMAP. But the real reason it’s so cool is because of features like Cloud File Integration, or the ability to attach a photo or add a file from Box or Dropbox when you compose a message; a wide array of swipe actions to archive, delete, or mark emails; assignable profile photos for people who send you emails; the ability to “like” messages, which will notify the sender you received it; HTML signatures; Evernote integration; smart folders, and more.

Google's Gmail is one of the most popular email products around, and with generous storage allotments, reliable service and easy web or client integration, it's not difficult to see why. There is one negative, however, in that push email support for iOS and Mac is lacking. If you depend on Gmail and need instant access to your messages, you'll want to look beyond Apple's first-party offerings.
In evaluating the following Mac applications, each was loaded one-by-one and tested by sending emails from a second Gmail account running in a Web browser on another computer.
MailPlane
MailPlane offers the best OS X experience of any third party mail application. It's easy to configure, handles multiple accounts and was by far the quickest to push Gmail to the Mac. Testing from one account to another, MailPlane never once failed on a push operation.
The interface is nearly identical to the Gmail Web interface, with the addition of some larger icons at the top for quick email composition, message management, access your contacts and more. Just above an integrated Google search bar are tabs for adding multiple Gmail accounts, as well as Gmail Calendar and Contacts.
If you don't like Gmail's Web interface, you probably won't like MailPlane as it's basically an OS X-coded wrapper. However, that same interface makes MailPlane a familiar work environment, while feature additions make it much more functional and easy to use compared to the regular Web client.
For example, I really liked the menu bar icon —a black M in the Mac menu bar that turns red when you have new mail. You can click on this M to get new mail, compose mail, or set do not disturb. When you select do not disturb, the M turns upside to look like a W.
MailPlane, according to the website has been around for 8.8 years and has had 156 updates. The app is available for a single user for $24.95 but can be installed on any Mac you personally use. There is a family license for up to five people in the same household for $39.95. MailPlane is not available on the Mac App Store but can be downloaded from the developer's website. There is a 15-day trial if you want to check it out first.
CloudMagic
CouldMagic has fielded apps for iOS and Android for some time, and this month the company launched a version for OS X. CouldMagic is much more than a simple email app. It combines all your emails accounts into one app and synchronizes them across all devices on which you have the app installed whether iOS, Android or OS X.
Setup with Gmail was quick and easy. After Gmail asked for the standard permissions, all my folders and gmail synced up automatically. You can also add Exchange, Yahoo, Outlook, iCloud and other IMAP email accounts. Google Apps are also supported.
One feature I really enjoyed with the CloudMagic iPhone app is that you can select the options to show when you swipe from the lock screen. With Gmail's native app, I'm limited to read or archive (I prefer delete or archive, as many emails don't need to be saved). The iPhone app also lets you assign different tone alerts to each account helping you know which account received an email before you even look. You can set many preferences for each account such as signature and color, all of which syncs across devices.
On the Mac —and iPhone —pushing of Gmails was practically instant most of the time. Any delays we experienced were a few seconds at most.
You do not need to set up a CloudMagic account, but if you do, you obtain additional benefits. You can log into multiple devices and all your email account credentials will sync. Your preferences like signatures and account colors also sync and CloudMagic gives you the ability to remotely wipe data if you lose your phone or tablet.
CloudMagic is a very powerful tool in simplifying email and making it 'one' across all devices, whether it be Mac, iPhone or even Android hardware. If you primarily use just one email account such as Gmail, CloudMagic might be more than you need, but the extras —syncing signatures, look-up, remote data wiping —make the program well worth the price. I set up an Outlook account on my iPhone and in moments it was synchronized to my Mac desktop via 'cloud magic.' If you have many email accounts with many devices, CloudMagic is certainly worth a look.
CloudMagic is not completely without issue, however. Because I run OS X in a slightly reduced resolution to better accommodate my eyes, the right side of the app always fell off the screen. Resizing the window was a no go, and enlarging it simply amplified the problem. I also use Windows machines quite often and CloudMagic is not yet available on Microsoft's platform.
Some might be concerned having another cloud service accessing their email. If that is a concern, you can use the app(s) without creating a CloudMagic account. The company says this makes notifications less reliable and you are not able to sync preferences.
CloudMagic is available on the Mac App Store for $19.99.
Unibox
Unibox is the cleanest looking of all the applications tested and certainly looked the most 'Apple-like' in appearance, but not so in function. Setup of a 2-step verification Gmail account was very quick and easy, but an interface so clean and minimalist did add somewhat to the learning curve. Unibox approaches viewing your email quite differently.
Even though the general look of Unibox was familiar, the way the application deals with email is quite different. On the left pane you have a list of contacts in the order you last communicated with them. The latest contact is always at the top and when you click on that contact, all their messages are on the right. It is a very interesting and fresh approach to viewing email, but after literally decades of viewing emails the 'traditional' way I found the Unibox approach somewhat cumbersome at first.
After a few hours, however, it became second nature to look for email by person and not by timeline. But, if you are switching from computer to computer or a device with a traditional email layout, coming back to Unibox will possibly be more confusing than helpful.
A nice feature was that Unibox placed the logo of each company (when available) or Google portrait in the left column, which made finding email threads visually easy and fast.
Unibox provides a view that shows all attachments exchanged with a particular contact. That was extremely useful for looking for an attachment from a client.
Replies were simple without the formatting options of the other applications. The pushing of new gmail was quick but not nearly and instant as some of the other applications, but should be fast enough for day to day usage.
Unibox is available on the Mac App store for $9.99, but you can download a 15-day trial from the the Unibox website.
Postbox
Mozilla Thunderbird
Postbox looks very much like the native OS X mail client. If you are used to Apple Mail on OS X, then Postbox will feel very familiar. Postbox offers many options such as vertical or horizontal layout with or without inline images.Postbox offers cloud file sharing where you can simply drop a file from Dropbox, OneDrive, or other cloud services into the body of a message and a link to that file is created automatically.
You can streamline your replies by creating a set of pre-written responses such as for customer service or sales. The responses can include text, HTML, images, etc., which make it perfect to quickly respond with inquires for more information on products. When you reply you can choose from a drop menu and select the pre-written response you want or compose a new one at that time. This option, along with easy inclusion of cloud based files, make Postbox a very strong email client for businesses.
One interesting option is that at the top bar there is a pushpin which is used to set reminders that stay at the top of your list of emails. One thing missing from Postbox is a menu bar notification icon but the taskbar icon does have a red badge indicating the number of unread mails in your inbox.
The options in Postbox are numerous and there is somewhat of a learning curve, but it can handle emails well, push is basically instant and it's perfect for businesses with pre-written brochures to send to inquiring customers.
