Unnötig kompliziert

Wozu einen Aquamail-Account erstellen, wenn ich die App auf jedem Gerät trotzdem manuell einrichten muss? Wieso kann ich mich nicht einfach einloggen und alle Postfächer sind synchron? Direkt wieder gelöscht.

Response from developer

Hello. Sorry for the frustration. The Aqua Mail account is mainly for license/subscription management, not for storing or syncing your email account settings across devices. For privacy and security, Aqua Mail does not store your mailbox passwords, OAuth tokens, or full account configurations on our servers, so each device has to be set up separately or restored from a local backup. We understand that automatic device-to-device setup would be useful, and your feedback is noted.

Hello Günni68. Sorry to hear that. We cannot delete or control app store reviews; only Google/Apple or the platform itself can remove them based on their policies. Could you please tell us what went wrong or what issue you’re experiencing with Aqua Mail? We’ll be happy to help.

日本語非対応

Android版は日本語対応ですがIOS版は日本語非対応です。
Android版のバックアップを利用してのアカウント復元も出来ない。
UIも別物で操作体型が違う。

Response from developer

Hello 日本🇯🇵AQUAMail非対応. Thank you for the feedback. We understand the differences between Android and iOS, including language support, backup restoration, and UI consistency, can be frustrating. I’ll forward this to our team for review and consideration in future updates.

It works.

I’m using SSH to tunnel ports 25 & 143 to a remote server. It took about 30 sec to set this email client up to localhost:65143 & localhost:65025, authenticate, and view my mail. Can’t make it any simpler.

Hello wrkhors. We are really glad that you like our product. Your support and voice are very important to us. Thank you for supporting our app.

Unter iOS nicht zu gebrauchen

Ich nutzte Aquamail unter Android viele Jahre sehr gerne.
Nach einem Wechsel auf Apple bin ich nun sehr enttäuscht. Nicht nur, dass die Funktionalität hier viel geringer ausfällt (damit hätte ich sogar noch Leben können. Auch mit der Tatsache, dass ich nun jährlich 29 € zahlen soll ist nichtmal mein Problem), auch sind die Fehler leider zu umfangreich.
Ständig werden Konten „vergessen“ (da kommt bei einer 2-Faktor-Authentifizierung richtig Freude auf). Über neue Mails wird mannicht benachrichtigt - man muss die App aktiv öffnen und selber nachsehen. Die Ladezeiten sind unglaublich lang. Auch „Löschen“ von Mails braucht eine ganze Weile, bis das mal an den Server durchgestellt ist und man die App schließen kann.
Seit dem vorletzten Update kann mein Kauf (oder besser „Abo“) nicht wieder hergestellt werden.
Jetzt ist mir die Lust vergangen. Abo ist gekündigt und nun nutze ich die App des Mailanbieters. Die ist zwar nicht so schön, aber funktioniert wenigstens.
Und nein, ich will dem Support keine Nachricht schreiben. Ich will mich überhaupt nicht damit beschäftigen. Bei einem solchen Abo (für das ich gerne bereit bin zu bezahlen) erwarte ich einfach, dass es funktioniert.
Schade - war mal richtig schön mit Aquamail.

Hello Ferry, We are really sorry for the experience you’ve had, especially after using Aqua Mail for so long. What you described sounds frustrating, and we understand the disappointment when the app should be dependable. For iOS specifically, “accounts forgotten” and missing notifications are usually related to OAuth/sign-in token refresh and iOS background/push settings expiring or being restricted. Long loading and slow delete can also happen when background refresh and push are limited. If you ever want to double-check without a full support conversation, please verify these basics: iOS Settings > Notifications for Aqua Mail are enabled, iOS Settings > General > Background App Refresh is enabled for Aqua Mail, and in Aqua Mail try Restore Purchases from the subscription screen (so the annual purchase reconnects to your Apple account). We’re also taking your bug report seriously. Thank you for sharing this, even though it didn’t meet your expectations.

Auf IOS Furchtbar

Habe diese App vor zig Jahren für 3,99€ einmalig auf Android gekauft. Da ist das App wirklich super, jetzt habe ich mir das App bei Apple für 20€ im Jahr gekauft und leider muss ich feststellen das es auf IOS einfach nur schlecht ist. Es aktualisiert nicht automatisch muss jedes mal App starten das Emails geladen werden. Nachdem ich diese gelöscht habe zeigt mir App immer noch Benachrichtigung Marken an. Das ganze App läuft unruhig. Instaliert auf IPhone 17 Pro

Hello Georg, We are sorry you’re having this experience on iOS. Please contact us so we can troubleshoot your specific device and account and check your settings at support@aqua-mail.com In the meantime, please ensure iOS settings are correct: Settings > Notifications > Aqua Mail on Settings > General > Background App Refresh on for Aqua Mail Also force-close Aqua Mail once after enabling those settings, then let it refresh in the background.

für Exchange Mail unbrauchbar

Hatte unter Android viele Jahre dieses Programm für mein Exchange Mail Ionos Konto. Auf dem IPhone geht es nicht. 29,90 verschenkt. sehr ärgerlich

Hoffe das es besser läuft ansonsten auf Wiedersehen ❗️❗️Ich muß sagen auf Android läuft die App viel besser,auf ios läuft sie echt schlecht mal bitte besser machen ❗️❗️❗️

Unbrauchbar

Werbung, trotz bezahltem Account? Antworten einiger Accounts verschwinden im Nirvana, ohne jemals abgesendet zu werden.
Macht eure Hausaufgaben. Ich werde den Account nicht verlängern.

Hello Netzspinne. We apologize for the inconvenience. Can you be more specific please so that we can identify the issue? Don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@aqua-mail.com

App still hasn’t been banned

This app still hasn’t been removed why it’s the most annoying email app. I would use this if they would just fix all the problems this app has. They need to fix not getting notifications from the iPhone to the smart watch. Plus change the price for the premium version it’s just too expensive to buy especially with all these high prices nowadays.

Hello Fredreed. Thanks for the feedback. Please check. iPhone Settings > Notifications > Aqua Mail > Allow Notifications Then check: Watch app on iPhone > Notifications > Aqua Mail > Mirror my iPhone Also make sure Focus mode, Do Not Disturb, and Low Power Mode are not blocking notifications. About Premium pricing, we understand your concern. Prices are set through the app stores and can vary by region, but your feedback is valid and we’ll pass it to the team.

Android版使用していますが。

ios は非常に使いにくい。 Android版は使いやすく重宝している

Response from developer

Hello mts. Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the iOS version feels difficult compared to Android. Aqua Mail for iOS is still evolving, and we’re working to make it easier and more intuitive. If you have specific issues or suggestions, please send them to support@aqua-mail.com — we’d really appreciate it.

Warum sind es immer die selben Updates,ich erkenne leider keine Verbesserung ich kan leider nicht ersehen was für Verbesserungen die App hat........❗️❗️

I keep checking ..

This app is *so* good on Android that I keep trying it under iOS, hoping. But alas, no.
Just tried again after months away, used the same settings as in Apple’ Mail client yet won’t even setup my IMAP account (“Unstable server connection”, whatever that means). I used the option to send them a log (multiple times) so hopefully they will take a look and figure it out (also hopefully they use some other channel other than their own email to get the log sent ’cause the email won’t set up in the first place).

Hello Yeahrightosammoduffus. We are sorry to hear that. This sounds like an issue for our customer support. If you haven’t already contacted them, you may do so at support@aqua-mail.com.

Schön, aber Fehlerhaft

Aquamail isr ein sehr schönes Programm mit großem Funktionsumfang.
Doch ein Auto das nicht fährt, ist nicht wirklich ein Auto.
Aquamail hat bei mir einige Emails als „versendet“ gemeldet, das jedoch nicht getan und dafür die Nachricht komplett verschwinden lassen. Das kam erst nach und nach ans Licht.
Somit leider „nicht brauchbar“.

Response from developer

Hello vanWengade. If Aqua Mail showed a message as sent but it is missing, the first things to check are the Outbox in Aqua Mail and the Sent folder in the provider’s webmail. If the message is not in webmail Sent, then it most likely was not accepted by the SMTP server, or the account’s sent-copy mapping is wrong. Please check the account’s outgoing settings in Aqua Mail and confirm the correct SMTP server, port, security, and login are being used. Also check that the Sent folder is correctly assigned for that account. If this is a POP3 account, sent messages are not synced from the server the same way as IMAP, so behavior can differ. For more support, please contact us at support@aqua-mail.com

Very disappointing

First off, it's crazy expensive. I have no idea how they can justify the extremely high price to use the app, but I did pay for one year. Now based on my experience, and having previously used the Android version for more than 10 years, I will not be renewing. This version does not compare. I already feel totally ripped off, and I only got a one year license. Terrible.

Hello StandardBrooks. We’re sorry to hear that, and we understand your frustration. Thank you for giving the app a try and for your long-time use of the Android version. We appreciate the feedback, especially regarding pricing and your overall experience, and we’ll make sure it is noted. If there is one specific issue that made the experience especially disappointing, feel free to share it and we can try to help.

Нормально не работает

К большому сожалению приложение не работает нормально с почтовыми ящиками Yandex.ru и mail.ru.
На иконке приложения, при получении новых писем, не появляется счетчик непрочитанных писем. Это счетчик появится если открыть приложение, увидеть, что есть непрочитанные письма, а потом свернуть приложение. От аккаунта mail.ru нет даже уведомлений о получении новых писем. Нужно открыть приложение и потом увидеть, что эти письма есть. Про другие, более мелкие проблемы и писать не буду.

Hello Ale10782. Thanks for the feedback, and sorry about the slow experience. We’ve fixed the push-related issue in the new version, so new messages should appear much faster now. Please update Aqua Mail and test again. If it still feels slow after updating, let us know your email provider and account type so we can look deeper.

Sad to delete

I have used Aqua Mail Pro for about 15 years give or take. I recently made the mistake of switching from Android to IPhone. I am now forced to repurchase. And of course now, it’s a yearly subscription. When I purchased mine way back, it was a “ONE TIME” purchase. Very disappointed!

Response from developer

Hello. Thank you for your long-time support, we truly appreciate it. Legacy Pro (one-time) licenses are tied to the Android platform and unfortunately cannot be transferred to iOS. If you’d prefer not to use a subscription, you can visit our website and look for available one-off (lifetime) options for iOS.

Not as good as it used to

This was my way to go app for many years as an Android user and I remember it had so many customizable settings that why I loved it, here we are a few years later on iOS where you can barely move couple settings plus I had the life time subscription and now it costs $100?!

Maybe someday it will be what is used to

We apologize for any inconvenience caused, we take this feedback seriously. Please rest assured that we are continually working to enhance the Aqua Mail experience for our users. Thank you for your patience and for considering our app. Your support is valuable to us.

Has promise for basic use

This app has some promise for super basic use, but for business use on Microsoft 365 it would be best to search elsewhere. I am most distressed because the help files are all out of date and seemed to mention features that no longer exist.

Aqua Mail – A Powerful, Reliable, and Truly Customizable Email Experience

Aqua Mail is hands down one of the best email clients I’ve used on any platform, and its Apple App Store version lives up to the reputation it has built over the years. If you are someone who manages multiple email accounts and wants full control over how your inbox looks and works, Aqua Mail is an excellent choice.

First of all, the performance is smooth and reliable. Emails sync quickly, notifications are timely, and the app feels stable even when handling several accounts at once. I use it for different email services like Gmail, Outlook, and other IMAP accounts, and Aqua Mail manages all of them effortlessly without lag or confusion. The Smart Inbox feature is especially useful, as it helps organize emails intelligently and saves a lot of time.

One of Aqua Mail’s biggest strengths is customization. Unlike many email apps that force a fixed layout, Aqua Mail allows you to personalize almost everything—themes, fonts, swipe gestures, notification settings, and even how conversations are displayed. This level of control makes the app feel truly “yours.” Whether you prefer a minimal, clean inbox or a feature-rich layout, Aqua Mail adapts to your style.

The user interface is well designed and intuitive. Even with its advanced features, the app doesn’t feel overwhelming. Navigation is simple, and important actions like searching, sorting, and managing folders are easy to access. The search function is fast and accurate, which is a huge plus when you need to find old emails quickly.

Security and privacy are also strong points. Aqua Mail does not store your emails or passwords on its own servers, which gives peace of mind in today’s privacy-conscious world. Knowing that my data stays under my control makes me trust the app more than many alternatives.

Another thing worth appreciating is the developer’s commitment. Updates are regular, bugs are addressed, and feedback from users is often acknowledged. It’s clear that the developers care about improving the app and listening to their community, which is not always the case with many email clients.

Overall, Aqua Mail is a feature-rich, dependable, and highly customizable email app that stands out on the App Store. It’s suitable for both casual users who want a clean and efficient inbox and power users who need advanced tools and flexibility. If you’re tired of basic email apps and want something more powerful and professional, Aqua Mail is absolutely worth trying. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
