I was bemoaning the one drawback with Spark that I had found in relation to no Spam Sieve compatibility. I am not associated with Readdle in any way, this post is just intended as an FYI for those who might be interested.
#Spark email for gmail free#
The iOS version is free and as I had already downloaded the macOS version I'm not sure what it costs. So I wouldn't say I really love my emails but I have become more efficient with considerably less effort. Lastly it has a truly functional Apple Watch app which really works, even on my 38mm model. Once the Primary email is registered in macOS and the other accounts added it auto fills your other accounts in the iOS versions.
#Spark email for gmail password#
In a few short days I have cleared out nearly 800 old emails from my inbox, many unread and am really liking this app.Įase of setup on macOS was simplified by telling me I needed an App Specific Password for my iCloud account and providing a link on the same notification to the Apple ID management page for the creation of one. It is also really easy to create and use "smart" mailboxes for things like receipts and account statements accessible with one click from the inbox. The grouping also means I can concentrate on personal emails first before moving on to Notifications (like ones from this site) next knowing that I have at least viewed all the important emails rather than trying to sort them out from a long list of mixed emails containing newsletters, advertising and whatnot.
For example when you read an email either in iOS it disappears into the "Seen" box allowing you to clear out new email quite quickly either pinning them (if important) for later or archiving them. One click allows you to return to "Classic" view which I find myself doing less and less as I get the hang of this concept. Initially I found this confusing but not as confusing as Gmail which groups your inbox into Primary, Social, Promotional, Updates and Forums. The inbox automatically sorts emails into personal, newsletter and notification boxes for easy processing, putting real emails from real people as top priority. A "little" like the Google Gmail app it sorts incoming emails into groups. I had tried this app in the past but was resistant to their, then novel, concept of grouping incoming emails into categories. I was overjoyed when Bloop released the iOS version and have been using it pretty much exclusively on all my devices ever since.īut in a knee jerk reaction of defiance to thier sudden decision to swap to a subscription based business model I uninstalled them all which brought me to revisit Readdle's Spark email client. Not that Apple Mail is all that bad, it has improved markedly since I swapped to macOS Airmail years ago. My other priority was to have the same app on macOS and iOS. As a result of the recent debacle with Bloop's Airmail iOS email client I was motivated to abandon both the iOS and macOS versions leaving me back in the situation of needing/wanting another email client with similar features.
