Spark by Readdle, a new email app for iPhone released today, wants to enhance email with intelligence and flexibility. Each one revolutionary and shortsighted in its own way, always far from the utopia of email reinvention on mobile. I’ve seen email clients for iOS rise and fall (and be abandoned) I’ve tried many apps that promised to bring email in the modern age of mobile and cloud services but that ultimately just replaced existing problems with new ones. Part of the problem has been the Sisyphean effort of third-party apps that tried to modernize email: the more developers attempted to reinvent it, the more antiquated standards, platform limitations, and economic realities kept dragging them down. Outlook on the Mac platform still restricts non-Exchange data to IMAP-only email accounts, but that's a non-issue for me.I’ve had a complicated relationship with email over the years. Outlook for Windows for now, my judgment is reserved for a few more months. With Office 2019 in opt-in testing at the business/enterprise level (I haven't opted in), I'm holding out for that suite's email client before I bless the Mac client as being an option on my Macs and Mac VMs. I'm on the Fast Ring, and Outlook is improving mightily by the week - but I find that its configuration to be not as granular as the Office app. I'm demoing the Mac Outlook client, interested in it since MS announced (in January) that all of their Office applications moved to a unified code base for their key apps. My company uses both Windows and Macs, but company email is restricted to the Windows clients for now. I use Outlook 2016 for Windows in a VM for 95% of my work-related email, and I also have an old Lumia 650 with a Win 10 ROM loaded as a supplementary email "notifier". Apple Mail is actually pretty nice to use with Exchange, and it's extensible. Small company owner chiming in, needing to connect to an Exchange Server (2016) and Office 365 (transitioning to Business O365 sometime this year).
