Been following this discussion in the last few days. Spark is out for me 
right now because of the privacy concerns (they save your credentials in 
their servers). AirMail I dropped because it was buggy but might try 
again - they have a privacy mode that allows all credentials to be 
stored on device only.

So for now, I’m using the Mail app and added the “ToReply” label 
on the sidebar. Adding it to new messages is a pain, so need to look at 
AirMail again. I’m also looking at AltaMail and Preside, but haven’t 
had time yet.

Any other suggestions welcome (not needing my credentials on their 
servers is a must).

Best,
Carlos
