Ask HN: Mailbox alternatives for OS X?
I'm looking for exactly mailbox, without bugs.
I love the swipe to archive/schedule. I use those features all the time.
Outlook on iOS is the perfect replacement. But what about OS X?
Prediction: Unless a startup comes out of nowhere and does this, MSFT will end up replacing Mailbox.app on OS X (hopefully!)
- cjbarber 11y agoThis seems especially relevant now that Mailbox is officially being shut down on Feb 26.
- Nilef 11y agoThat's why he asked...
- _neil 11y agoThis is a bummer. Despite how incredibly buggy Mailbox is on OS X, it was still my favorite client since Sparrow. I might give Nylas[0] a try. [0] https://www.nylas.com/n1 https://www.nylas.com/n1
- cjbarber 11y agoThe (current) lack of 'swipe to snooze' is unfortunate with Nylas. Looks great otherwise though.
- sjs382 11y agoI use Airmail and I like it, though my usage doesn't require anything out of the ordinary, beyond having different mailboxes for different accounts.
- avitzurel 11y agoRight now I am using Airmail and I'm pretty happy about it. I have about 4 email accounts and it works well. The shortcuts are Gmail compliant so you can use whatever you are used for with motion/archive/delete and more. I've used Postbox, MailPlane3, Mailbox, Mail and a lot of others, Airmail is the best one so far.
- speg 11y agoI switched from Mailbox to Inbox a few months ago. Glad I did! There is no desktop app, and the settings aren't as customizable but the bundling feature makes up for that.
- microman 11y agoI use Postbox but I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has used both Postbox and Airmail to see if they prefer one over the other?
- tbrock 11y agoI still miss sparrow. It felt so much lighter weight than airmail on OSX.
- goralph 11y agoI've basically tried them all, and the latest Airmail client works the best for me. It's fast, no lag in the animations, does what I want it to do, and even looks decent.
