Apple Mail uses POP/IMAP to access email, while Google's Gmail app uses Google's (what I presume to be) proprietary Google API to get the email. Said to be more secure than IMAP/POP.Alright .. teach me.. Why would you use the google app (knowing google uses your data to make money) compared to the Apple iOS app. What are the benefits. Is it faster? Does it save battery? I just really want to know why this app is being downloaded?.
A free-Gmail user is not a customer. He or she is the product.Due to pressure, they stopped doing that, but that is a good example of the length they will go to put their business ahead of their customers.
I use Apple Mail for all my email needs.
I will not have google, Amazon, Facebook Apps on my devices.
Gmail has features like Smart Inbox categorization that are not available through the IMAP interface, unfortunately.Alright .. teach me..

Business/work reasons. Many people choose to have separate email clients for their personal and work accounts, or need to use Gmail because they're in the Google Workspace. With that in mind, Gmail is obviously the perfect client for said email, whereas Apple Mail doesn't play nice with some aspects.Alright .. teach me..

Sure you can. You can checkmark multiple emails, then archive, move to folders/categories, mark as read/unread, etc.Spark is what I use. Google Mail has a nice UI, but you can't bulk mark emails read, archive, etc.
Yeah but you have to manually click them all. Spark has a "select all" option. Unless Google added that since the last time I looked at their app...Sure you can. You can checkmark multiple emails, then archive, move to folders/categories, mark as read/unread, etc.
Not sure why you say you can bulk mark, read, archive, etc. emails with gmail. I do it everydaySpark is what I use. Google Mail has a nice UI, but you can't bulk mark emails read, archive, etc.
Click on one message, hold shift key down, scroll down to the last message you want mark, move, delete, etc. and choose the option you want.Yeah but you have to manually click them all. Spark has a "select all" option. Unless Google added that since the last time I looked at their app...
Just downloaded the beta of Mimestream. Pretty awesome, actually!On my laptop, I've been trying out Mimestream, which uses Google's API, but is a native Swift, Mac app. It's pretty good for a beta.
Search history and location? Seriously???Congratulations on not caring at all about your privacy, some of us do and choose to try and minimize our risk.

It's even more sarcastic when you consider them pushing updates of their apps every single week, or actually once every 3-4 days even before the entire "labeling" drama.I find it interesting that it took 3 friggin months to update - guess gmail is just "perfect" that no maintenance is needed within that time. Good for you *sarcastic golf clap*
Ah, no, no 'select all'Yeah but you have to manually click them all. Spark has a "select all" option. Unless Google added that since the last time I looked at their app...

I'm just puzzled at this point.
