AltaMail

If you use Mailmate on MacOS you’ll probably like this app. There are so many options and settings to set. If you are like me-an average user that just looks for something alternative to Apple Mail, I really don’t know if this is for you. You need to spend a lot of time checking emails to make use of all options in this app. However: I miss the possibility to integrate with Things3, or to even share with Things3 through the Share-icon. I do like that AltaMail doesn’t use their own solution for linking back to the mail when shared with Apple Notes and other apps available for sharing. Canary uses canary:// airmail uses airmail:// and so on. This means you must have Canary, Airmail and so on when clicking such a link. AltaMail uses message:// which is standard and means you can open it in AppleMail. However: when sharing (they call it Open in app ...) with Apple Notes, it saves the mail as an .eml which will not open in Notes. Apple Mail saves (if you choose Print) as pdf, and Airmail, Canary saves as clickable links. So the sharefunction in AltaMail is in my view not good enough. A plus is the fact that they provide many different languages. My system is Swedish, and AltaMail is automatically set up in my kanguage. As dies Airmail, but not Canary or Spark. The AltaMail UI is not the nicest for the eyes. This and the many mant options you mire stumble over than actually find when looking for it, is a minus. All in all: if you are a heavy user of email , I guess Altamail is a good option on iPhone and iPad. If you are line me-an average user who gets maybe 50-100 emails a day, it is perhaps an overkill. And it does not provide what I want frim an email app-easy sharing with Things and Notes. The app itself deserves a high rating for massive users I guess, and combined with a very excellent support it is almost worth top marks. The non-existing support for Things3 (and maybe other todo-apps), the issue with sharing and the rather boring UI drags it down though. I really WANT to give this top stars, but to be honest I can’t. My needs are better met with Airmail or Canary. And indeed-the free pre-installed Apple Mail.

Anyone depending om mail AND suport, this is THE app.

This is the best mail client I’ve ever tried on a mobile device, and I have tried all top rated mail clients. AltaMail is as close to a desktop experience one can come. The email rules and filters are outstanding. I miss only one thing: the ability to configure how often mail is being updated.

I’ve been using this mail application for several years and have been completely satisfied with it’s performance, features, and the support of their staff in resolving problems. I am a private user who has used various EMail applications over a computer career beginning in 1980 and continuing to retirement. In retirement I found Alta Mail met my expectations and more. This is the only application that provided all I wanted and much, much more. I especially appreciate the ability to setup EMail groups and send to them with simple actions. AltaMail is complex and filled with features I’m sure I’ll never use but confident that should I need something it’ll be there. Support has been exemplary. I’m very impressed with their attention to requests for support and their willingness to work toward solutions. (Feb 23, 2023) Still enjoy Alta Mail as it works well across all my Apple devices. (Jul 12, 2023) So far, this application has met or exceeded my expectations. My standard email companion was the PC version of Microsoft Outlook for over 20 years. Upon retirement, this was the only application that equaled Outlook and I’m totally satisfied with it. I highly recommend this application.(May 2024) No change in opinion. Handling of Spam has been improved and much appreciated. (Jul 2024) Update Appreciated.

Your support is very appreciated!! Always improving the software.

This is worth switching over to. Excellent program.

I’ve been a subscriber of this software for several years now and I continue to renew. It is hard to imagine how the developers could pack one more feature into it. You can tell they’re committed to that however and also to their customers’ satisfaction. Give it a try, especially if you’re using POP3. Also, you may enjoy the way they use color, different font sizes etc. to help differentiate parts of the interface and of the emails themselves.

This is a great app with a lot of features

Great

I’ve paid for years for this app and each time I’ve needed support to report a bug that needs fixing I’m treated like I’m dumb or making it all up - forcing me to capture videos to prove it or get no support at all. I’m not sure why I bother paying for support when this is what I get. You can expect to get a form reply implying you are an idiot, or that no one else has reported this issue, how can it possibly be real etc. Sick of this app and I’m looking elsewhere. Suggest you consider doing the same if you want either a smooth experience, or at least responsive support.
