I've been a long-time user of Postbox in the past, having gone to Postbox from Eudora. Was pretty happy with Postbox until their recent rewrite which left out 3rd-party plugins. I kept the old version, but a rebuild of my Mac Mini (my SSD that I'd replaced the original Fusion drive with died, I put in a new 2TB SSD) put the nail in the coffin, and I never reinstalled Postbox.
I have work and personal email hosted by Rackspace which I am happy with, and it support Exchange ActiveSync. On my Mac Mini, I'm currently just using their WebMail, which is not a great experience. I like that I can set up some filtering on their server, and have mail moved to different folders based on keywords. And they have decent spam filtering, though not quite enough.
I currently use Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad.
Really, I only used a couple of Postbox plugins - Markdown Here, and SpamSieve. SpamSieve was good for dealing with the spam that got through the Rackspace filtering, and it worked for me since my Mini is "always on". But maybe I should consider a cloud solution for additional spam filtering. I wouldn't trust a third-party service, but I could install something on IBM Cloud.
I am a mobile app developer, I write iOS and Android apps using a hybrid platform. And I use IBM Cloud for some backend stuff.
Besides my primary personal and business accounts, I have a couple of GMail accounts that I don't use actively, but are required e.g. for Android development, for my Android test devices, for some "login with Google" sites, etc. As well, from time to time a client might give me one of their company accounts for doing business. This would typically either be a GMail account or an Outlook or Exchange account - usually "branded" with their domain.
Would love it if there were an app for both Mac desktop and iOS that will support Exchange ActiveSync and doesn't require handing over credentials to a third party. As well, it at least needs to support Markdown either inherently or via a plugin. It might be nice if the desktop version supports SpamSieve. (I think, though, one can configure SpamSieve as a local filtering server). But willing to go with some other spam solution.
Encrypted mail would be great, which is why I was looking at Canary Mail. Not very familiar with how encrypted mail works, I assume you establish trust via either some secure exchange or (most often) via URL published in signature, and then after that it knows to encrypt mail to that correspondent, right? As a software developer, i should be doing this, as well as signing my git commits, I think I need to get that Round Tuit.
Reliable push is desired for the Exchange ActiveSync accounts, but not important for the others.
Maybe I should just swallow hard and use Outlook? I do already have an Office 365 subscription, and do use Word/Excel on Mac.
Does Outlook support encrypted mail? Markdown?
Other ideas?
Most important thing for desktop is ability to do quick search locally and have all messages downloaded locally.
