As someone else mentioned; this is straying way off topic. So in an 
effort to wrap this up...

My initial comment was effectively "be informed" - I still stand by that 
comment. And I never said Spark is bad or not to use it.

I don't agree that is the only difference. I trust Benny (& other devs) 
to do the right thing. That means that MailMate never stores my email 
creds itself, and instead uses OS keychain, and I trust that MailMate is 
certainly not smuggling my creds to store on remote servers.

That doesn't make MailMate right and Readdle wrong - but it does make 
them different. And I made an assumption that users of MailMate are more 
discerning than the average email user, so I shared my experiences, so 
others here can be informed. I trust I've achieved that now, and if I 
haven't then I doubt I can clarify it any further.
