Unreliable email program. Reliable email sending needs to be fixed, why would they be draft

So stupid, same problem hasn’t been updated yet. Come on now, why do all my emails go to draft?.

HEY Email needs to improve its sending reliability. I have experienced emails that appear to send successfully, but other times they unexpectedly end up in the Drafts folder instead of being delivered.

An email app must be dependable. Users should not have to constantly check Drafts to confirm whether an important message was actually sent. This creates uncertainty and can cause missed communications.

Please investigate this issue, improve the send process, and provide better error notifications when an email fails to send.

Love this email.

I haven’t been this excited to use an email app since email came into existence. I love that I get to choose where emails go when they come in - I think my Imbox will be less cluttered overall except that I really like to tag things for later or “set aside” so I can see that turning into a parking lot of disaster for me…at least I can easily locate things I wanted to look at for some reason. Will I have to pay for it? Yes. I’m also okay with that because it will be money well spent! Glad I stumbled on this when trying to find a new platform to replace Gmail. Also stoked that I can forward other inboxes instead of filling loading all of the garbage. My hotmail has over 200k unread emails. Who can even deal with that?!?

$99 a year? A joke?

$99 a year? Really? For an email app?

Good idea, poor client, not for serious use

This is a great idea and keeps my email inbox trim but the web based gui is buggy, slow and makes for a poor user experience. It’s just not built for serious email use. Latest issue is saving everything sent also as a draft - leaving me unsure if it’s been sent. Months later still not fixed. Other issues, saving files end up with long unreadable file names. Emails that just don’t send. Super slow access. Been hoping for years for a proper app, but no such luck. I may move on…
