I’ve been wondering whether it’d be possible to developer a better Mail client for Mac. But then again, that’s not my main concern. As a matter of fact, if you put too many accounts in Apple Mail and activate too many plugins - it will explode. Mail.app works fine, but it’s not revolutionary, breathtaking at the way it allows you to interact with messages or geared towards people who need to play with multiple accounts on a daily basis. I love Gmail’s web UI, and even though I’m also a huge Mailplane fan I had to keep all my other Gmail / Google Apps-based accounts in Mail.app, mainly for the better integration with Applescripts, Automator workflows and plugins. I’ve been a Mail.app user for a long time, but a few weeks ago I decided to move my primary work mail account to Gmail under Google Apps. I gave it a try, and here’s what’s behind the marketing slogans of Humail. I’ve recently stumbled upon this new app called “ Humail” which aims at becoming your new “personal” and “emotional” email client. I use it on a daily basis, but it’s not (and can’t be) my default client. It’s like a mobile version of Mailplane, a Cocoa wrapper for multiple Gmail accounts. There are some Gmail-specific applications in the App Store: Mailroom is one of them, and I love it. I don’t know if this is about high development costs (maybe) or some restrictions imposed by Apple (likely), still we’re not getting the possibility of installing 3r party mail clients like on our Macs and PCs. It saved my life.Īnyway, while I use the Gmail web interface on the desktop, I’m forced to stick with Mail.app on the iPhone and iPad: the app works fine (could be a lot better though), but the main reason why I don’t use and haven’t even tried other clients is because there are no other clients on iOS. Here’s a good tip: create a Gmail account just for your signups (Facebook, Twitter, Gowalla, etc) and forget about your main inbox getting overloaded. I use Gmail for my work email addresses (everything runs smoothly on Google Apps), and I have a dozen of personal accounts I’ve used in these past years to keep my identity well conceived on the internet. When it comes down to email, my choice is simple: Gmail.
