    I'm using Airmail currently.

    There's also:

    As well was many more.

    Quick note to the DN team: Can links to other domains automatically open in a new tab please?

      I am using the alpha of polymail and it is my favorite mac mail client by far, I have tried many of them. Mailpilot I have been interested in but for me, only makes sense for a business email address. If you tweet the polymail team they will most likely add you to the alpha.

      Airmail has been my go to until polymail, its very solid, would recommend.

      also, I second the notion for new tab links... please DN, please.

      I say let the links remain as they are. The user should be able to make that decision.

      Although it is much more a common practice to open external websites into a blank tab/window.

      I don't know about everyone else but when I want a link to open in a new tab I tell it too manually. There's too many websites that react differently from one to the other.

        Stumbled over this comment and felt an urge to reply. I think this is superuser behaviour, and that most people (those we're designing for) just click the links. I admit that I don't have any numbers to back this up, though.

      Polymail is the best email app I ever seen. Features, design, usability are obviously awesome. The reason that is the best app, is because it is made by a smart team.

      Downvote the 'links in new tab' idea. It's easy enough to hold command and click (Mac) or long press/touch and 'open in background' (iOS).
