I'm with schneems and my enthusiasm for mail clients has waned considerably since Sparrow.
Airmail 1/2, adequate but prone to many small usability issues that was very irksome.
Mailbox is very well designed, but key features like downloading attachments fails 50% of the time (and no option to change where they're downloaded to? Really?). I want it to succeed, but I feel like it should be much better by this point.
So, I'm willing to take the plunge. I bought Mail Pilot 2 (app store version). Here's my feedback:
- Options page is very cluttered. When deleting email there is mention of an option to turn off confirmation, but I couldn't find it.
- Client is very sluggish. To the point that, when writing mail, keystrokes take a second to register. This is a deal-breaker for me. This is on a brand new i7 MB Pro, 16GB of RAM.
- The design is very slick, but it's hard to determine if a message is unread or not. Feel like it should be more obvious. Also, all of the little icons (gravatars potentially?) don't fail gracefully displaying broken images instead.
This is after a few minutes of use, so there might be more that come up. I want to like it, I really do, but the sluggishness just kills it for me.
