Airmail

What Airmail is

Airmail is an email client for iOS and macOS that brings messages, inbox tools and workflow actions together. It connects to Gmail, GSuite, iCloud Mail, Exchange, Office 365, Microsoft Outlook, IMAP and POP3 accounts. Unified Inbox combines messages from multiple inboxes, while Smart Inbox filters newsletters and other distractions. Offline access, calendar tools and scheduled sending are also available.

For message handling, Airmail includes Snooze, Send Later, custom and swipe actions, and email templates. Siri and Shortcuts can use its Send and Search actions in automations, including mail merges and task assignment. Emails can be shared with Todoist, OmniFocus, Fantastical, Calendar 5, Dropbox and OneDrive. Privacy Mode processes data on the device, blocks tracking pixels and prevents images from loading automatically. The apps support Face ID or Touch ID, and macOS plugins provide S/MIME or GPG encryption. Airmail states that it is GDPR compliant and deletes temporary data after seven days of inactivity. A free plan covers one account and basic email and inbox management; Pro adds push notifications, multiple accounts and other workflow features.

Who it suits

Airmail suits people who manage email on iPhone, iPad or Mac and want to combine multiple providers or inboxes. It can also suit users who rely on Shortcuts, Siri, email templates or integrations with listed task, calendar and storage apps.

Limits

The free plan is limited to one account, basic email functionality and basic inbox management. Pro Monthly costs $5.99 a month, while Pro Yearly costs $29.99 a year; each adds push notifications, multiple accounts, Send Later, snooze, custom actions, iCloud sync and Smart Folders.

Verdict
