"A native macOS email client for Gmail." This looks so good, especially considering MailPlane is dead. If only I didn't have iCloud and Exchange email accounts I need to deal with, too.

AppleScripting the creation of Mail.app Rules is a great tip. (Yes, I use [MailMate](https://freron.com/), and my [SaneBox](http://mbsy.co/sanebox/18846293) @SaneBlackHole covers this particular use case for me, but it’s still a great tip. Also, yes, the persistent emails Dr. Drang describes are a bane of my existence, too.)

I've been mentioning this lots of places, but I'm really excited about it. Pointed out to my by Tyler Hall, this self-hosted newsletter app lets you send trackable emails via Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) for a fraction of what major email services like Mailchimp will charge. If you have a medium-to-large mailing list, it's more than worth every penny.

This is very, very close to the system I've been using for a couple years with Sanebox, MailMate (on Mac) and /Spark (on iOS). So close that now I don't feel the need to get around to writing it up any further :).

As you may be aware, I'm a very happy MailMate user, but I've always been impressed with the power of the Postbox email client for Mac. Among a [host of new features](https://www.postbox-inc.com/product/releasenotes), the latest version adds new swipe gestures, new rich-text composition tools, and "Labs", which allows running experimental 3rd-party code within Postbox.

Nobody liked coding HTML emails even before mobile. Now you have to plan for so many variables while using CSS and markup restricted for cross-client compatibility. Enjoy this collection of responsive HTML email templates and save the tears.

A welcome tool. I do a fair number of introductions via email. You know, "John meet Melinda" rather than just giving Melinda John's email address and letting her make a cold intro. But it's a pain to ask John if he's willing to meet Melinda, so I often skip that step and just decide to feel bad about it. So let's automate that…

Ok, so there's not been any shortage of email clients in recent years, nor am I interested in replacing MailMate or Spark. I do try everything out, though, and this one looks great. Currently just in advance signup mode, but if you're curious, get your name on the list.

Spark from Readdle is my favorite email client on iOS, and the Mac version is making some exciting improvements. This latest update includes labels, improved sidebar management, more options for folder management (Color Tags, Recents, Favorites and Smart Folders), and mproved Smart Search with boolean operators.

This looks like a really smart way to handle email threads. I doubt it would suit my needs the way [Spark](https://itunes.apple.com/app/id997102246?mt=8

There have been a few new options popping up for email clients on the Mac. I'm still sticking with [MailMate](https://freron.com/) (for very nerdy reasons), but [AirMail 3](https://www.macstories.net/reviews/airmail-3-review/) is looking great. This one is open source and easily extensible, so I'm pretty curious to dig in and see what it can do.

I like this a lot. It's a database of publicly available emails for bloggers at major outlets, searchable by keywords. It shows you 3 relevant articles for each blogger, and if you think they're appropriate, you can add them to lists and export CSV files for a press campaign.

Hey Press is free to use, you just have to create an account. They do an intelligent job of "letting" you pay a buck or two when you download. It's optional---the service is promised to be free forever---but it's a smart way to get support from users in palettable increments.
