Mimestream

A native Mac email app built just for Gmail

MacFrom $4.99

The verdict

Only Gmail accounts work here, because the app talks to Gmail's own API, so labels, inbox categories, filters and search behave exactly as they do on the web. On top you get a unified inbox for several accounts, aliases, templates, snooze, undo send and blocking of tracking pixels. There is no free plan after the 14-day trial, and Spark's free tier is the better fit if you also need iCloud or Outlook mail.
