Promising, but no good to me without Exchange
I so wanted to make this my email app. Loved it on the trial run (and I greatly appreciate the free trial). There are some bugs. It often loads mail extremely slowly (so much so that sometimes, the notification pops up before the message is available). Badges are unreliable. Folders are inflexible. All that was dwarfed, though, by the excellent sender profile feature, especially the ability to access all files a contact has ever sent you in a single list just by opening the profile window, which in turn can be opened through any message from that contact. So for that, and the beautiful interface, I could have lived with the bugs in the hopes they would work them out eventually. But no support for Exchange is a deal breaker. One of my employers uses Exchange, it can’t be configured as IMAP, and Polymail could give no definitive answer as to when Exchange support would be forthcoming, though they’ve been talking about it since 2016. I have four jobs, which is an immense amount of information to keep organized; I need all my mail in one place. I’m finally making the jump from Mac Mail, but it won’t be to this. It’s not ready yet.Show lessgoodbyelizajane
Not Perfect But...
As the title suggests not perfect, but it really is quite good. It doesn’t try to do any of the weird stuff many of the apps do to try and differentiate. It does the basics well and the basics is what’s required 99% of the tine.
I particularly like the full screen mode when drafting an email. Polymail does HTML sigs and appears quite responsive. Occasionally the unread count does not appear on the icon. This is annoying since I use that to decide whether to peruse email. Especially like it on the iPad, but works well on iPhone also.Show lessJabiru240
Don't like it
I thought I give Polymail another try after I was really not happy with it a year ago but I was really surprised to discover that my same complaints are still valid:
How can it be that I can't paste my account password in the login screen but have to enter it manually instead?? This is a hugr security risk as it promotes usage of passwords that are easy to remember rather than relying on a password manager. I use 30+ letter/digit/number passwords and not being able to paste them is a no-go for me from the get-go.
As I did want to try Polymail though, I did enter the password manually (real pain…) only to discover that I still cannot display folders/labels by account but that they are rather grouped together. Such a mess… I have 13 accounts but I stopped after three as it became unmanageable. I realize that 13 accounts is an edge case but even with three accounts and lots of folders, this is unacceptable.
I surely hope that these bugs/oversights can/will be fixed but until then, Polymail remains a merely ok email app.Show lessPillhuhn
Good but has bugs
This use to be my favourite email application but eventually I decided to switch back to Apple Mail. Polymail can be unreliable, it crashes sometimes and the last time I checked there is still a bug which prevents you from emptying the trash so I had to use another email app to do it. Not intuitive at all. I really liked the gmail tabs for notifications and the read receipts but it still does not make up for the bugs. Compared to Apple Mail it also does not render all emails perfectly and does not seem to be able to load videos in email. I’m a developer so I am familiar with these things.Show lessrenegade31337
A Really Fantastic App!
What a really fantastic app! It has a nice clean interface that displays emails really beautifully & has great features.
I have now integrated all my email accounts into Polymail.
The developer definitely did a great job with this app.Apps...Apps & More
Everything missing from Gmail Inbox!
I wanted something for mobile with email templates / canned responses, send later function, and the ability to change font formatting/styles, all of which are (shockingly) not available through gmails mobile apps. This app is simple, easy on the eyes, and has all these great features standard!!! Couldn't be happier.Show lesst.meagan
From best to better!
Used the desktop app almost two years ago and left it with my old work. Just picked it back up on my mobile and never expected to be so excited about - or write my first positive app review - an email app.
Best part is it takes no onboarding time before you start gaining benefits. Unlike some of my other favorite apps (the Omni suite) you don't have to invest hours upon days upon weeks using and learning the flow to appreciate it.
Download this thing - its free - and you'll see in the first few emails how great it is, specially the tracking options which now support multiple tracking, love it!Show lessirJerad
I don't write reviews
And I never thought a mail app would be almost exciting to try. I hate the apple mail app, always have. But as far as mobile mail I couldn't complain too much it does the job.
I downloaded this first on my MacBook Pro, and I couldn't believe that I actually love a mail app enough to know I'm going to sign up once the trim is over. I can't go back. It's really that good. The features are amazing, ive never seen a mail app have them, and the interface is easy and very modern looking, not cumbersome in the least, especially considering how nice they've managed to design it on top of it all. Email is now fun. At least for now.
I'm switching desktop apps from outlook 2016, which I thought was perfect until I tried this... i don't even know if I need the features but I have a feeling they'll be nice to have for some occasion. I send links to an article I've written to various editors and with this app, I can now see if my content is being read, shared, ignored, so I can get a better idea on various writing styles and which are more well-received.
In short: get the desktop and phone app and do away with all the email clients we've all used by default, this email app beats them all.Show lessIntellectualElk
