Anyone use Airmail?

Am genuinely at the end of my tether with Mail. Since changing to El Capitan it's definitely more stable, but I'm still getting issues and bugs with it that make me want to throw the laptop out the window. I rely on email fairly heavily and it's going to be my primary method of communication for the next year at least so unfortunately I notice the little bugs more and more.

I read a lot of good things about Airmail and for $9.99, it's got to be worth a punt. Has anyone got any experience with it?

I got the rage with mail too, mainly around the formatting. Used AirMail for a while, but then regressed and now I just stick to Outlook, it's easier.

I've thought about Outlook, but I'm not sure. It just doesn't fit with OSX for me

Followed you on Twitter btw

I use the Airmail Beta. Though I'm stuck on a particular version as if I update I lose all my folders.

Our email supplier was Gmail and I had all my emails labelled, then we were migrated to Outlook 365 and all my labels got turned into folders. Airmail is the only app it seems that displays folders like labels and gives my inbox colourful tags denoting what folders the emails are in.

Beta for 2.0?

Yup, I'm running Version 2.5 (316)

How many folders do you have? Surely it cant take longer than an evenings work.

Or export a copy of the mailbox with folders intact, re-import and organise from there?

Go with outlook - It works on OSX and is pretty decent on iOS (I like how I only get notifications for my "focussed" emails and all the junk just gets put into a different "folder").

Love Airmail, used too be a huge sparrow fan but that died. I've had it since 2012 and not had a single issue. Well worth the money.

Ditto. I jump into the gmail web view for searching old emails but that's about it.

I tried AirMail for a while, it was pretty but I found it was a massive resource hog and slightly unstable. It may have improved since then.

Outlook 2016 is decent - the only thing stopping me from switching to it is lack of iCal support (I use a shared calendar with the mrs)
