  • Excellent Mail Application

    I’ve been using this mail application for several years and have been completely satisfied with it’s performance, features, and the support of their staff in resolving problems. I am a private user who has used various EMail applications over a computer career beginning in 1980 and continuing to retirement. In retirement I found Alta Mail met my expectations and more. This is the only application that provided all I wanted and much, much more. I especially appreciate the ability to setup EMail groups and send to them with simple actions. AltaMail is complex and filled with features I’m sure I’ll never use but confident that should I need something it’ll be there. Support has been exemplary. I’m very impressed with their attention to requests for support and their willingness to work toward solutions. (Feb 23, 2023) Still enjoy Alta Mail as it works well across all my Apple devices. (Jul 12, 2023) So far, this application has met or exceeded my expectations. My standard email companion was the PC version of Microsoft Outlook for over 20 years. Upon retirement, this was the only application that equaled Outlook and I’m totally satisfied with it. I highly recommend this application.(May 2024) No change in opinion. Handling of Spam has been improved and much appreciated.

  • Fantastic powerful mail app

    This app is absolute gem and keep my mailbox organised. This an absolute timesaver
  • One of the best email clients

    I didn’t give 5 stars only because of user interface design that makes it look a bit cluttered. For example, when selecting folders or accounts in the side bar, it shows the content with no indentation making you look twice among the other options. But it has still many customizable items which can solve things if you know how to use it. Rules are an important feature that distinguishes the software from other solutions.

  • Only a trail version

    You have to pay after a set time.
    They also do not tell you this in the description.
    Not a proper way to do business.

    This app is not a trial and is free to use and has no time limit. The description describes how you can upgrade to use advanced features if you choose to do so but you can also continue to use the app with its many powerful features for free. You can also try out the advanced features for free. Please contact our help desk team for a quick reply with support and for any questions you may have https://esz.nz/c
  • Emails have been deleted and hidden, and uploaded to cloud servers.

    I tried calling for help, for 2 years, but never received any help. Even after providing screen shots indicating uploads of data to my confidential information to cloud servers (not Apple), and use of a MAC computer which I don’t own. My device has been compromised, most of my emails are deleted by this app and another more helpful vender that worked with me for removal. I’ve tried for 2 years to get this removed, I’ve experienced fraud and identity theft, yet no help from this vender. They refuse to delete data and email accounts from Alta! This enables a compromised email account to be used for purchases and identity theft, then have the related emails deleted or hidden! If I delete the app, it reappears. I changed email accounts and Apple ID but they are added back. The law that respects the rights of people related to EU data is below. Today, I was told via mail they would not read any more emails or requests! There is a law in EU: “The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) governs how personal data must be collected, processed, and erased.”

    This is all completely false as we have been telling you for months. You have never sent us any "proof" that any of your accusations are valid. We have no access to any customer data or accounts so we can not delete your information from your iPhone. The data is stored inside the app on your iPhone. It is never stored elsewhere, which is described in our privacy policy. Deleting the app deletes your data and your accounts. The "cloud server" you are referring to is simply a folder inside the app for sharing files with the Apple Files App. If you have issues with the App Store installing apps then surely this is something you should speak to Apple about. It is ridiculous to blame us for installing apps on your iPhone as it is impossible for 3rd party developers to install their own apps.
  • Exelent app, and incredible support

    I have been using AltaMail for several years without any problem and with great joy until a problem raised. After which I found that not only they have created a great product, they really stand by it and definitely engage you in order to either help you to overcome the problem or in my case stay with you until they understand what is going on and correct what ever is going on as soon as posible. I was one of those affected by the iCloud/me mail issue and that was handled brilliantly and the fix was included almost immediately (just few days after the problem was understood). Thank you all (I should have wrote this earlier... but you now, life gets always in the middle!)

  • Great Spam Filters

    This is an excellent app for both receiving and sending emails. It has some of the best spam filtering settings that can be customized to suit most, if not all, spam attacks. Well done!
  • The most sophisticated options and easy to use

    I have used quite a few mail apps and this is by far the most robust while being easy to use. Ability to customize many mail management features is highly useful. VERY IMPORTANTLY: This is the only email app that has enabled me to hide the vast amount of email clutter thus enabling me to quickly see the important emails which used to be like finding “needles in a hay stack”. This enables me to QUICKLY glance at the app for what I need (and must not miss) as my days are focused outside email and I do not have the time to manually cull the clutter. Custom notifications are great to have as they reach out of my phone to grab my attention. The extensive means of customizing email lit appearance is also a huge aid in quickly targeting the emails that need attention NOW.

    My favorite email app keeps on getting better. Thank you to the team for the best most capable email app of many I have used through the decades of email becoming increasingly essential in so many aspects of life - while junk mail and relatively unimportant email increasingly is crowding out the essential emails - AltaMail enables me to set various rules that direct AltaMail to, in multiple ways, cull through the inessential to the essential

  • The best email app

    I have tried about 12-15 apps for emails. I am neither kidding nor exaggerating about that. I have been looking for an email with rules options and not just basic rules but with all the options including “doesn't contain” Clean Email is another good app but expensive and does not support rules like this app, so email filters still lack and require manual work. This app has everything I have been looking for for a few years, and I am shocked I never found this before. I definitely will get the lifetime license because I can stop looking for email apps now.

  • Really Wonderful Upgrade - Saves Me So Much Time

    I suggested AltaMail Classic on discussion forum, but had found it too difficult to use before. Discovered that there was this wonderful upgrade. The rules and actions seem to be so much more intuitive now. In just two days, it neatly tamed the avalanche of literally hundreds of email I get each day, and they are all neatly filed instead of going into one big Archive All folder. Will be using AltaMail as my Email App from now on. I can delete all others and cancel subscriptions to services that have never really worked so well. Thank you!
