Hello folks...
Mail.app was so far my favorite mail program on Mac. It is basic, no unnecessary features, no clutter. Just mail. The headaches began when I had to add my work accounts. Both are on Microsoft Exchange. This is not Apple's fault, it clearly is Microsoft's, but the first problem was that MS is creating senseless folders I would never use and I can't delete or disable them. MS thought, it would be a good idea to mess around with server settings so one account calls its sent messages just "sent", the other one "sent items" and so on.
I was able to get it to work somehow and literally spent hours or days researching it.
But now the next problem came up: I'm using Adguard. It's awesome. It blocks ads and it does this IMHO better than any other adblocker. Battery life got better using it and all. Adguard uses something similar to a VPN to filter ads. iCloud doesn't like that. At all.
After 30 minutes, or an hour, Mail.app starts using 99% of CPU and energy and won't react anymore. If I turn Adguard off everything is fine.
Now I'm looking for another mail client because I hope that it will be easier.
I already looked into Outlook but it clearly is a MS app and I don't like it. It messes with my Exchange folders, again, although it's MS own product.
I love Postbox, I'm using it on Windows, but it has no Apple silicon native app so far. So this is no option either.
Does any of you have good recommendations for mail clients for Mac?
