    Feature Concept: Running Multiple Versions of Apple Mail (Per-Domain Separation)

    I’m a longtime Apple Mail user and honestly find it hard to replace — even compared to paid alternatives. That said, I’ve run into a real-world limitation I’d love Apple to consider addressing in a future macOS release: Apple Mail is sandboxed, which I get. But what if we had the ability to run...
