This is a very early first impression, based mostly on my set up experience. Set up was frustrating. I loaded Airmail on to an iPhone, an iPad, and a MAC. Adding iCloud mail addresses required app specific passwords. Easy enough, but my experience was that I needed to generate a different password for each devise. In the end it worked, but the process was painful. I needed to add a “generic” email account, too — from Comcast. This was fairly simple on MAC. I could, separately, test the settings for imap and stmp. That made it easy to isolate any errors, and then correct them. Set up on my iOS devises was much more difficult. For some reason I have not yet figured out, my log in attempts failed time and again. I checked my settings and, then, checked them again. Everything seemed to be correct. Apparently it was not, but I could not figure out what was wrong. Finally, after wasting considerable time, everything fell into place. One everything was set it appeared that Airmail will meet my needs quite nicely. I am optimistic!

I was getting sick and tired of overlooking all the little annoying things Airmail was doing — the Mac custom actions that refused to work, the lack of an export tool (can be found in custom actions if you need it but you will need to configure a new action for every inbox) and sidebar folders that would simply disappear every day, requiring a restart of the app. My attempt to contact support (via hoop-jumping links that eventually circled back to leaving an App Store review) actually hung my Mac requiring a restart — and support was useless with a “we cannot duplicate the experience” reply. Now I see it has not been updated in 9 months. NINE! So, with subscription renewal (which I did not mind paying for active development) coming due soon, I decided to discontinue my use of Airmail. It’s a shame. I thought that I had reviewed AirMail before now, but it cannot be found. I used to LOVE AirMail – and still do. However, most recent update not only did not fix the syncing problem I was having, it is now showing "Inbox Zero" every time I try to delete a message. Thankfully, the messages are still found on my desktop version. Syncing has always been slow and buggy on iOS, but the great functionality still outweighed the buggy syncing. Not so much any more. I'm sure they'll fix it, but beware purchase or update before then...

I’ve been using it for years and it seems that updates just keep breaking or taking away functionality and overall just complicating the easiness of use that made this app great and my favorite for all my devices. But filtering , actions, multiple taps to get get to where you want and access email actions, it all just seems to kinda work but not fully. It’s not too late to go back to previous layouts of the app where email actions where always accessible and just a tap away, while still refreshing the UI with new updates. Being able to see actions in a panel is not really as helpful to me as being able to see the full list all at once by pulling it from the side as before, and also loved the floating buttons. But things just kinda resemble Outlook now. Please focus on restoring functionality, less taps for things, make it simple and cool again and please FIX the filtering when clicking inside an email on the icon of the sender. The initial list shows the correct filtered emails but when viewing the emails from that list and going back the list is not filtered any more and shows all emails again which has been a big killer for me for a long time.
