What do other use? The Apple Mail app is just ok, noting exciting. I’ve been trying Canary and so far I like it. The fact the notifications badges sync alone is a plus.

I am back to using the stock app. I used to use Canary Mail. Email didn't display as nice on the watch like the stock app and I found PDF attachments didn't always fully load in Canary.

With the current iOS and WatchOS bug found relating to exposing one's IP etc. on the watch, I turned off notifications and stopped viewing mail on the watch until Apple releasing a fix.

AltaMail. I particularly like full screen viewing of individual emails in landscape mode.
I’ll check it out.

How long ago did you use Canary?

I was one of the early users. I believe the last time I used it was version 2. I also used to be a part of their Slack channel for beta and the developer didn't like one of my truthful but respectful comments and kicked me out.
I wish I was able to see that! ?
So far, it’s not bad. I’m on 3.36 now, so I hope those issues are gone, but I’ll test some more.

For the price, I think it is decent. When I was using it, I found that a lot of their updates seemed to break what was already working. Hopefully, that scenario has changed. I will take a look at the home page and see what is new.

As to my slack comments, I wish I could see and link them as well. lol

eta: Half the time I couldn't seem to get my different accounts to show on the watch and the developer told me at the time, that the watch app wasn't a priority.

I've many of them: Canary, Newton, Edison, and a bunch of others. I keep coming back to Spark. It's not perfect but it's quite good and is updated very frequently unlike some others.

I use Canary on all of my devices -- the only issue i have recently run into is i have to reauthenticate some of my gmail accounts. The best feature is only having to use one account to sign in -- and all of your other accounts are there.

I switched to Canary when Newton mail died.

Bro, I keep having this issues where Gmail has me re-authenticate with Canary monthly. Does this happen to you ? Canary is my go to and I assume it’s on google’s side.
