We don’t trust proprietary stuff because we’ve been burned by it, if there’s an open standard, even a worse one: use it.
If it’s really that bad, we need to improve the standard.

- dijit 2y agoYou’re mistaken, you don’t only connect to your iCloud from iPhones. You connect from any compatible client; and the effort that has gone in to the Mail client for iOS means it’s a decent enough mail client for non-iCloud mail accounts too. Apples closed ecosystem is mostly its developer tooling and iMessage.
