I've been using Postbox for a while now. It's nice. I don't love it.

Thunderbird. Not an amazing UI or UX, but it gets the job done.

mail.app, if only cos it's there and does the job.

Airmail2. Its ok, search is meh but overall better than apple mail for my needs.

Airmail 2 (I was a bit frustrated because I had the Airmail 1 too and when 2 got released I had to pay for the upgrade)

Airmail 2.

It's not without its own set of faults, but I find it nicer than Mail.

The lack of decent Exchange integration does let it down, but that's fine.

Apple Mail.app

I've been addicted to IMAP since my university days with Pine. Apple Mail had IMAP support when I first came to OS X, while very few other clients did. I've stuck with it, especially since it comes with the OS. It also supports multiple mail boxes which I relied on early too.

And I like the native UI, how it responds to drag and drop, interaction with the Dock, works with built in OS services, etc.

Also, relatively fast mail searching via Spotlight kept me hooked on mail. I suspect everybody else has caught up now.

AirMail 2 and Mail.app as I have three email accounts. I cannot decide which one is best, because on one side AirMail is working very well with tags but Mail.app is much more well integrated in the system.

Gmail in chrome tab

I really like Mailplane. All of the benefits of gmail in the browser (my preferred gmail interface) but wrapped in a native app for things like dock notifications, opening mailto links, etc.

Mail. Works good enough for what I need it to do.

Airmail 2. I use it with 1 Gmail account and 2 Zoho mail accounts, and everything works well.

Outlook 2015. Had a 5min delay receiving emails off Exchange server when using Mail.app. The new Outlook looks pretty sweet and works well

Mailbox.app
