Why do I need a third-party mail client?
As a senior Mac user, I always thought that the Mac's own mail client was the best. Compared to Other email clients, it saves more power and the interface is also in the same vein, and it is a great experience. Although connecting to Gmail also requires a scientific approach, it doesn't matter what you want to open.
But on the iOS platform, things are not the same thing. Although the self-contained App is fully functional and easy to use in certain scenarios (after all, it is the default mail client that cannot be modified), it is impossible for Gmail to be blocked by a wall. It is not a big problem to manually open the over-the-wall or to access it under the IPV6 environment. However, due to special reasons, the instant nature of the e-mail has been particularly high, and therefore alternatives have to be found. Just now the state has completely banned the use of VPN , I believe you valued friends also have this need, so write your own experience and hope to help everyone.
Desired function
The first echelon: Gmail does not need science to access the Internet, push speed, Mac & iOS support at the same time
Second Echelon: E-mail reading reminder, beautiful interface, Android support, reasonable price
basic introduction Newton Mail
Familiar friends all know that Newton Mail is Cloud Magic, which was previously extremely high in value, but changed from a previous software purchase to a software subscription (198 direct purchases became 328/year). At the time, besides this news, there was a lot of buzz on the Internet, but this was a last resort. After all, it is not easy for a company to survive.
Back to the functional point of view, Newton uses its own server to send and receive mail, so it can achieve all the needs, but the price is expensive. The price of 328/year is hard to accept.
Spark
Spark is Raddle's new work. It has been widely acclaimed since its launch and was selected as a 2015 App of the Year. The actual user experience is also very good, especially in the UI, clear, not cumbersome, very nice ~ and long-term support for the background of a large company, and various new features (such as the Touch Bar on the Mac) can be quickly obtained stand by.
However, there are obvious drawbacks. Although it is claimed that a third-party server is used, Gmail still cannot be opened, and Exchange protocol mail can be obtained normally. Can fully explain the role of its own server is very small, basically can not meet the requirements .
Nylas
Nylas is an open source email client that supports a variety of plug-ins and can implement a wide range of custom features including read receipts, custom interfaces, and more. It is also because of her open source nature that future plug-ins are guaranteed.
Nylas Home
But its price is too bad:
Nylas
Although there is a free package, but there is no Exchange protocol, which makes the school mailbox how to do. The Professional Edition is $12 a month as a student party can not afford. I don't care much about other features, but the school mailbox cannot be too irritating. What's more, it doesn't have an iOS version that doesn't meet my needs.
But given that its experience on the Mac is great and it will expand the potential of plug-ins later , it will be put in comparisons.
NetEase Email Master
As a large domestic mailbox, Netease is also a natural choice. Its iOS version does support Gmail, and it doesn't need to go over the wall. However, it is often necessary to re-login authorization during use, causing great difficulties. And each time you open the app, you'll receive a Google login warning. It's not clear what's going on.
Horizontal comparison
I have used all four products for a while (Newton and Nylas are Pro trials). It's really Newton's mobile experience. It's not only the UI is fine, but also the push speed and mail load time are the most satisfying. In comparison, other products have more or less problems in this area:
Spark: The push speed is slightly slower and acceptable, but Gmail can't open the message body. Let me know that there are emails that don’t let me open, it’s just torturing people
Netease Mailmaster: Push can be delayed by 1-2 hours in extreme cases, and there are advertisements on the mailing list page
NetEase & Advertising
iPhone measured
This time, I used the school Office 365 email on the Web to send emails to Gmail to test the speed of mail delivery and loading.
Newton and Spark both pushed news in the first place, and NetEase Mailbox Master, Gmail Client, and Inbox Client all died.
Spark can't load emails at all, and it's hard to tell. The NetEase mailbox master can successfully open the email, which is slightly slower and takes about 5 seconds to load.
MacFor the Mac, the original mail client is already well-used. A few disadvantages are that it often freezes, blocks the shutdown, and does not have email push functionality. In the client of three Mac platforms, the integrated level is still the best in Newton, although the operation logic is a little strange (the folder list of the email needs to be put in the upper level option for 3 seconds to open), but the overall push, send and receive email, Power consumption and other features are the best. The extra-offline push is also a great help, and you don't need to open your email client at all times.
Mac power consumption comparison
Newton: Front desk 10-14, backstage 0-5
Nylas: Front desk 20 - 55.7, backstage 8-15 is simply power madness
Spark: Front Desk 9 - 14, Back Office 0 - 5
Newton and Spark have already consumed the same energy as the native Mail app. Nylas uses the Electron engine, causing high energy consumption. It is expected that it will not be resolved in the short term.
Mail tracking
Mail tracking is to add a string of tracking tags at the end when sending e-mails. When e-mails are read, they will receive prompts. It can be said that this is very important and very important to use on important emails. Newton's use of screenshots are as follows:
final decision
In general, mobile phones can meet my basic needs (Gmail support) is Newton and NetEase mailbox master, and in the push and use experience on the Mailbox master from Newton there is a big gap, after all, people fight is the value of Experience
The Mac-acceptable products are Newton and Spark, and Spark is better than Newton in daily experience. But it didn't have an email tracking feature. Eventually Newton won and became my first choice.
Then the question arises. What will be the price of 328 a year? On New Year's Day, Newton had a half-price activity, which was equal to about 14RMB/month. Then he started to clench his teeth. It should be the most expensive in-app purchase I've ever bought. For now, the experience is pretty good. The push, Gmail support, and experience are all recommended. We recommend that you have the right value at the right price. At present, this price is often seen. Christmas and New Year's Day are half-price promotions. If there is no suitable price, it is recommended to look for alternatives first, and wait until half-price is more cost-effective.
Of course, there are definitely value-friends saying that the e-mail client is not necessarily so expensive. But it can be said that it is currently the best email client I have ever seen supporting Gmail, and its very good UI and experience design is definitely worth buying.
