![]() ![]() My quest for the perfect Gmail client continues. Personally, I think Wavebox comes out on top in the comparison, but it still has kinks that I would like them to work out.Įverything else I've tried - Outlook, Mailbird, Thunderbird, eM Client - sucks in different ways. I've been hunting for a great Gmail client for a long time, and sadly, all three of them are far from perfect. Performance and battery life is nearly on par with Wavebox. Also no back/fwd buttons, just like Wavebox. Like, wtf! A tabbed interface would be better, but not sure if it would go with their overall UX philosophy. For heavy Gmail users of multiple accounts and constant back-and-forth between mail, calendar, keep, docs in those accounts, it can easily lead to fifty independent windows in the space of an hour. ![]() You can turn off "compose in new window", but rest everything - calendar, drive, sheets, docs - keeps opening in a new window every time you click the buttons. Gmail client built for OSX with Calendar and Gmail support to allow usage in the familiar Gmail environment. Their selling point of "everything opens in a new window" is a major nuisance for me. It scans all incoming mail for both spam, phishing, and malware Mailplane: An e-mail client for Mac OS X that 'wraps' the Gmail service as a site-specific browser. I suspect it is not merely a browser-in-a-box electron clone, but a lot of things are implemented from scratch. Kiwi - The most well designed in terms of their design language, and over designed in other ways. It is often much easier to just hit a back button to, say, go back to you search results or to previously viewed emails. Strangely, it does not have a forward and back button like Shift has, which is a pain in the ass for me when navigating in Gmail. The Slack integration and the ability to use different websites in their own wrapper/tab is really great. Wavebox - Evolved from Wmail, which Shift was forked from. Deep in enemy territory it was incredibly difficult to evade capture. The calendar and drive integrations work reasonably well. Performance and battery life penalty is probably the highest among all three. All three of them are deficient in different ways, so here's my 2 cents. I've been trying out all three (Windows clients) for some time now (Kiwi has been available only recently).
