[MlMt] OT: iOS mail client

[aisrael]

I use Preside, I have around 300 000 emails, split into multiple 
folders, and it works fine. I found it the closest thing to Mailmate 
(although I find it much less ergonomic on the iPad). I also used 
Altamail, but for some unknown reasons (I suspect due to the fact that I 
use an Exchange server), some of my folders never appear in the list. 
Therefore I stopped using it.
