from the ask-hn dept.

I am looking for a client that allows me to integrate tools like rapportive, yesware, bananatag among others. Thank you for your help!

Airmail (http://airmailapp.com/) is a very good Gmail client for mac and it has plugins. I don't know if rapportive, yesware and bananatag are supported though.

It also has a GPGtools plugin.

I've always stuck to gmail.com (although I'd consider switching to inbox.com if I could get over my inertia).

I've never really had any serious issues with it. It did have a patch of slowness a year back but that seems to have been resolved.

I'm not sure how the offline capabilities have matured - as I'm very rarely away from a data connection.

I don't want to hijack the thread but what are your prime reasons for wanting an alternative interface?

I've been very impressed by Inbox, especially the UI. It feels the way Gmail did when it first came out ~10 years ago.

Personally I've found Unibox a better fit for my usual conversation flow.

It's a bit new and not as polished as it could be, but when the chains get long, identity-based conversation threads seem much easier to manage.

I just use Mail. It's fine. Still miss Sparrow though.
