Just wondering what you power mac users use for an email app and your ISP?
-
I mainly use a gmail address, and for that I use my browser on my iMac, and the gmail app on my iPhone. I do have an email with my ISP and it gets 2 pieces of mail a week, and for that I use Apple Mail.
-
No "power user" here since I just use Apple Mail and Comcast. But I also have accounts at Apple and a hosting company. My wife still uses MindSpring (originally EarthLink), but she reads it all on Mail. :D
-
I currently use MS Entourage 2008 but it's getting long in the tooth and may not work in Mojave (I'll find out in a week or so). I also have MS Outlook 365 which I like, but not as much as Entourage. I downloaded Thunderbird (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/) (free) but haven't used it. Airmail, available at App Store (about $10) has good reviews but I don't yet have it. FWIW, I have tried Mail and don't like it.
My ISP is Spectrum, aka Time Warner.

Use Apple's Mail to download accounts through Optonline at one house and CenturyLink DSL at the other. Also have Apple me.com (iCloud) accounts downloaded to Mail and Yahoo account for throwaway stuff which I read only online.
-
I've also downloaded Spark (https://sparkmailapp.com). :dntknw: I'm embarrassed to say I've updated it at least three times and I've yet to actually run it! :blush: :rofl:

Well, with almost 30 email addresses in use on my iMac, I guess I count as a "power user" - I don't have all of them feeding to my phone, iPad or MBP, since some of them are strictly related to particular domains and mail received on them is usually to do with hosting or domain renewals, SSL certificates etc. (ie: work related) Why so many? Well...it has to do with getting deals for clients for web hosting (have to keep being a "new customer") as well as having to use domain-associated email addresses for things like SSL certificates etc. And email from contact forms on websites that I manage on a volunteer basis all has to be kept separate, and many of those organizations have Gmail accounts as well, which a number of us access. I wouldn't want to use a personal email addy for any of those situations. I have 4 tiers of my own email addys: personal (family/friends/clients), personal + license registration/some clients (that's a Gmail one), email addy used for signing up for mailing lists (Gmail again) and complete junk - a Yahoo address I rarely bother checking online and don't even have in Apple Mail. Oh and then there are two email addresses attached to my own personal domain (rarely used, though one is for the contact form on my site) and the iCloud one I never use either. And a spare Gmail account I used for another website hosting as a new user sign-up.
I use Apple Mail - it works just fine, in my experience. There are over 34,000 messages stored in my Inbox and my Sent folders - and that's not counting the older stuff that's in folders offline. Yeah...that's a lot of email. :p
I used to use Entourage, but switched about 10 years ago when it started to get corrupted rather too often.
And yeah, in case you're wondering, I'd be completely lost without 1Password. There are over 900 passwords in that. :p
