Overall, I was sad it couldn't replace Sparrow. The interface was just annoying to move around in. Syncing to the server took forever, and sometimes just stopped. I paid for the app and was disappointed it had such a hard time just starting up. The first time I tried Airmail, around two years ago, it felt like a beta. Breath of fresh air the second time around? It's just another half-hearted Sparrow copy at this point, but it's worse off since it's web-based. I'm extremely disappointed with their efforts. Dropbox will have to overhaul the app for me to give it a try again. When I installed Airmail, I had to uninstall Mailbox completely because it wouldn't let Airmail or anything else take over the default email position. I recently started using it daily for about a week, but gave up again due to random crashes and extreme usability issues like archiving not working until the third try. It had too many bugs and UI glitches, so I gave up. I tried the Mac app when the beta was first released. Right now I'm trying out the second version of Airmail, and it's much better than the other options.īefore I move on to the full review, let me quickly say why Mailbox is so terrible. Other options range from the underdeveloped Unibox to the downright unstable Mailbox.
AIRMAIL REVIEW FOR MAC ARCHIVE
I don't like Apple's because the delete keyboard button doesn't archive messages and the interface is too cluttered. It doesn't mean they use it.Īnyway, now that Sparrow is out of the picture permanently, I feel I must start looking for a new Mac email client.
We paid for it, lived it, and often now have been forced to move on as its slowly decayed. I still have a copy of Sparrow, as do many others. A desktop Gmail client still doesn't exist, unless you count a Chrome Web app as one. They had to suffer because Google wanted superior products for its users. This year, they pulled it from the store completely.īut why am I saying "Poor Sparrow"? It's more like "Poor users". Development basically stopped after the acquisition, aside from "critical bug fixes", of which there were none. Google had to buy it and ruin everything.
