Fly Mail is the production Mail app for the Fly Productivity Manager ecosystem. It brings every connected mailbox into one fast, searchable iPhone inbox. GLOBAL INBOX See mail from all of your Fly Mail addresses in one chronological view, with clear account labels and unread status. FAST READING Conversations are prefetched so messages open immediately. Email is normalized for a phone-sized screen, while wide content remains scrollable. HTML mail is displayed by default, and privacy-sensitive remote images stay blocked until you choose to load them. SEARCH AND COMPOSE Search across your mail, find contacts while addressing a message, and send from any available Fly Mail address using Fly Mail's native composition editor. GESTURES THAT KEEP YOU MOVING Swipe a message to mark it read or archive it. In the reader, archive and advance, pull down to refresh, or swipe up from the bottom to start a reply. MADE FOR IOS Fly Mail supports light and dark appearance, the iOS share and mail composition experience, verification-code AutoFill, and registration as a default email app where iOS makes those capabilities available.

LinkMail

LinkMail is a native email client for iPhone and iPad that keeps your mail with you. YOUR MAIL STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Everything is stored in a local database, the way Apple Mail does it. Our servers receive no message at all. They only carry what IMAP cannot synchronise between two devices β snoozes, scheduled sends, drafts β and the references passing through are fingerprints computed with a key that never leaves your keychain. HOSTILE HTML, BLOCKED BY DEFAULT An email is HTML that comes from outside. LinkMail stops remote images, fonts, scripts and tracking pixels before a single byte goes out: the sender does not learn that you opened the message, nor from which address. A discreet bar tells you how many trackers were blocked, and you decide β for this message, for this sender, or for the whole domain. ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS, WITHOUT MIXING THEM iCloud, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and any IMAP server. A unified inbox when you want to see everything at once, and spaces to keep apart what should be: work on one side, the rest on the other, in a single gesture. A HIERARCHY YOU CAN READ FROM A METRE AWAY You skim a mailbox by seeing, not by reading. The sender dominates β that is how you look for a message β the subject follows, the preview recedes. An unread message is marked once, decisively, not by three lines in bold. AT HOME ON IPHONE AND ON IPAD On iPhone, four destinations in the tab bar: mail, calendar, contacts, settings. On iPad, columns β folders, list, message β and a calendar that takes the full width with its calendars on the left. This is not the same app resized; these are two layouts, each thought out for its size. BUILT FOR LARGE MAILBOXES Incremental synchronisation with CONDSTORE and QRESYNC, message structure downloaded before the bodies, instant full-text search across a hundred thousand messages, accents and prefixes included. A mailbox of fifty thousand messages is navigable in under a minute. TRULY OFFLINE Flag, file, delete, reply: everything applies locally at once, then replays on reconnection. A tunnel, a plane, a train cancel nothing you have just done. The optional offline copy also brings down the mail you choose, within its disk budget. THE CALENDAR NEXT TO THE MAIL Your CalDAV calendars beside your messages. Invitations are read and answered from the reader, an appointment spotted in a message goes into the calendar in one step, and reminders never fire on their own. AN ASSISTANT THAT RUNS ON YOUR DEVICE The dayβs briefing, promises made and received, meeting preparation, finding a slot. On devices that support Apple Intelligence, the model runs on the device: nothing leaves. Using a remote service is an explicit choice, and what is sent is listed word for word in the privacy policy. NEWSLETTER HOUSEKEEPING What you receive, what you actually open, and what to unsubscribe from in one go. Unsubscribing goes through the header meant for it, without opening a single tracking page. AND ALSO Rich editor and signatures per account or per folder. A contacts book to file mail by your own rules. Export a message as PDF. Notifications with quick actions. Out-of-office replies. Background fetch. Light, dark or automatic theme, independent of the systemβs. VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. LinkMail is developed in France by LinkInfo.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fly Mail at none against LinkMail's 1. Fly Mail also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). LinkMail's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
