Same here. Tried more or less everything - except the ones with online cloud binding like Spark.

Airmail was way too buggy, and as soon as they included that buggy ai stuff i was out.

BlueMail was ok-ish.  Still need to try it.

Preside is almost good imo, but its a journey to configure it or to get used to it.

And i tried some others as well. Frustrating

Also, still none of them supports gpg in a useable way.

And searching is really basic in almost all cases. Nothing comes close to MailMate!

Most 3rd party email clients on iOS can’t do notifications on incoming mails reliably due to limitations on ios.

But i need to try a different email client right now - seems like they made mail.app worse with the latest release ☹️
