I think MacRumors should avoid doing this with known bad citizens. All your email has to go through Edisons servers and they have been known to scrape and sell targeted information to advertisers so they can spend less money sending you ads you didn't ask for and in a lot of cases never knew you were being tracked for. It's unethical in my opinion to give them air time.

Free tier is 500MB only, hardly usable for most people. And at the prices they have, plus not having mobile clients, I have a hard time seeing why this beats apples mail client.
Agreed. I used Proton mail as well for a while, but 500mb is a joke. If they are serious about their mission for privacy, then regular users should be free with the same amount of drive space that competitors like Gmail offers, and then charge business clients instead subsidizing regular users.
They do have mobile clients, where do you get that from?
For me personally, Mail is just an old necessary evil that somehow sticks around still, and that is needed for communication with companies, signing up for services and the communicating with the government. Who on earth uses email for personal communication anymore?
It would be a good idea to stay away from Edison. It has been breached numerous times.
Ah the sort of thing should be handled by the notification system of the OS rather than every app needing their own implementation.
After trying virtually every third-party email client I come across, I've determined that I just want Apple to modernize the Mail app, adding features like Send Later, a "delay mark as read" function, better junk mail filtering, true/easy-to-use HTML signatures, etc.
Agreed.
I don't personally use clients (have my personal email loaded into Outlook on my work machine - is super easy to monitor/manage there), but every now and then, I'll catch a wild hair and play around with Apple's native client here on my Mac.
my mistake, I missed it on their site and didn’t look on the App Store for it. Still don’t like my mail going thro*the others servers, not just Edison. But they seemed to be doing more than the usual with the scraping.
It's a 'put it off to another day/time' implementation. 'Re-delivers' the email to you at that time, so to speak. I find it incredibly helpful!
I just want Apple Mail app to show different account colours - the new email blue dot should be the colour of the account or something simple like that...
