The simplicity reminds me of Sparrow for Mac [1]. One of the best email apps ever made!

When I was still on Gmail in 2012 or so (?) I really really loved that app!

Actually, I’d easily pay $25 or even more for a similar app, for Fastmail.

Mailmate at https://freron.com/ is fantastic. My only gripe is that it is Mac-only, so I can't use it on my work desktop. (linux)

Wow, so strange that they don't provide a single screenshot (that I could find) on their website.

A mix of mutt for triage and reluctantly, the gmail web interface. I think I have tried every real client available and been disappointed in many different ways?

Have you tried Spark? It's the spiritual successor to Sparrow, I use it on phone and laptop and really like it. The only downside is that it's on a freemium model...

I'd avoid Spark due to privacy concerns. You can't turn off their 'collaboration features' so that they don't collect any data

I loved Sparrow. I’m a Spark addict now, haven’t been this pleased with an email app. I normally jump around when stuff gets crappy and slow but Spark just keeps on giving. Highly rate it, both for Mac and android.

I’m still sad about Sparrow’s demise - Mail.app and others are poor substitutes.
