Tremendous Strides and a Great App
I have been looking for an alternative to Spark for a while, and Epistles is the answer. Sure, there have been some hiccups with the roll out of the platform, but that is to be expected for a new platform. Spark experienced the same growing pains. The Support team at Epistles Mail has been very responsive, and I have appreciated this.
The app has a great interface and it is very polished. The syncing is great and there is deep customization options available to accommodate all user types.
Epistles Mail is now my primary email client and I will not be renewing my subscription to Spark.

Up and coming!
An excellent app that’s clearly under development still but is rapidly addressing gaps and bugs and turning into a crackerjack of an app for emails. I have a self-hosted JMAP server using Stalwart, and rely on Epistles across iOS, Android, and MacOS, and it works like a charm!
A Pleasant Surprise
This app really surprised me. I have used pretty much every mainstream mail app available for Mac. The first thing that took me by surprise was how effortlessly it set up all my email accounts. I have three business emails, plus my personal email. My personal one is obviously via iCloud. But my others are all tied to my business websites. I won’t name names, but there is one popular email app that I consistently had trouble with getting it to set up these accounts. They are IMAP accounts, but I always got a connect error. With Epistle I had no issues at all. It instantly accepted my account info for each and set them up. When I downloaded the mobile version of the app, it quickly transferred those accounts to my iPad and iPhone. I realize there is a review from a user who had IMAP issues. All I can tell you is that I did not and it actually went very well. I also like the clean look and the bit of color in its design. It also grabbed all the proper sender images and icons with no prompting or tweaking from me. All and all … I am quite happy at the moment. Different people can have different experiences. I say give it a try and see what your’s is.

Needs better support for IMAP
The standard for ISP email is IMAP. And yet it can’t manage to figure out the certificates of my IMAP server automatically. Spark is automatic, Thunderbird is too. I’m just looking for something with the speed of Spark, but the flexibility of.understanding folders of Thunderbird.
A lot of potential
This app has a lot of potential to be a game changer for my daily life. Initially, I started playing around with it and saw what I felt were basic mail client features were lacking that I needed to even consider using this app long term.
I opened a few tickets providing this feedback, they responded to my tickets within the hour and shipped the features within 24 hours.
The app is still new, but the engagement from the dev’s and willingness to evolve and adapt is what sets them apart.
