Preside email

Other mail readers may be prettier but there are always power features missing. If you’re a power user who appreciates consistency, orthogonality, and completeness, you want Preside.

They have different outdated layouts to choose from - Gee, thanks. How about you follow the latest iOS UI guidelines throughout the app? Buttons are often misplaced (cancel button), some interface symbols are pixelated, etc. Too bad, because the app shows real potential, but it needs to be rewritten from scratch.

I have used Preside as the app for my work email (Outlook / Exchange) on my iPhone since 2018. It's so much better then the iOS Mail app for handling lots of emails in folders, especially nested folders. I recently upgraded to a newer iPhone and ran into a small glitch when getting Preside going on the new phone. I emailed Preside customer service, and within about 24 hours they responded with clear instructions that solved the problem. It's great to see a software company that stands behind its product, and offers such responsive customer service!

The name is absolutely perfect. This program presides over all of my files/folders. As an accountant I have many clients many folders, sub folders, categories. Trying to locate them on an iPad or iPhone takes far too much time. With Preside I just type in the first few letters of the folder and up it will pop. From this program, I can forward my emails, resend them, copy them, access them. I use Preside every day many MANY times. I tell all of my clients and friends and family about this wonderful program. The IT person for my office introduced it to me so many years ago and for that I am forever grateful!

IMHO Best mail app for business. Best Dev. Thank you.

I’ve been using this as a secondary app since I focus on Android, Windows , and Apple OS for most of my email. However, I keep confronting issues like: layouts that interfere with the UI rather than support it, exclusive use of features that require a known message to be displayed before allowing movement to a different folder, full and partial directory listings from the listing of folders for various holiday sources and phone contacts, pagination (of index files possibly) that have to resynch when looking at All Vs each Account content in drafts taking significant time, and more. I continue to like the goal but the lack of search in the FAQ and manual (stated as outdated) limit help to asking rather than looking through avail sources. I’ll update this should I return to the app, right now it’s slowing and interfering with my email needs.

Best email client for iOS bar none. It’s an indispensable tool and whenever there is an issue, which is rare, the developer responds quickly. With every penny.

I was never as opposed to iOS mail as some others— seemed fine to me, even great, for my needs. Except that the ML became so pushy— often electing to break rather than give up on what it had decided I want to see on open: a a blank screen if had deleted the whole thread in a vain attempt to end the game, or else an actually incessant replication of a prominent aspect of my email habits from recent days (in spite of my attemtps to escape them, for example it would follow threads into the trash to fire them up on open), and in general constantly seeking to give me what I no longer wanted. I tried several remedies, including re-installs, log out and ins, & other various ostensibly efficacious reset actions, all to no avail— and eventually found Preside. Haven’t looked back. Glad it all happened, I feel like I can stick with this one. I know this is like a grudge letter to ios mail— but it’s intended more as a background to why the frankness of Preside appeals to me so much. Very good client.

I finally gave up on Apple Mail's search capabilities. Time and time again, Apple Mail would return no results for emails I *knew* existed in my archive. Preside gives me the ability to *completely* sync my accounts, store all of my messages locally, and search everything. As of that weren't enough, it is incredibly customizable. Smart folders, button placement, gestures, fine control over list and message view, even colors. It's a weird looking app, but it more than makes up for it in functionality. If email is important to you, this is a fantastic app.

The reviews are true, this has an amazing feature set and great support and is frequently preferred over desktop apps. It’s as simple or as customisable as you want it to be. The unique and useful features are smart replies and auto-filing. The fact it is free is amazing and a testament to the (extremely supportive) developer, and if you can, it’s well worth paying for to support its continued development and to keep it freely available for others. It’s clearly a labor of love.
