Oh please no...

Benny is one of the hardest working public software developers I've seen 
this century. It is absolutely amazing that he has not burnt out on 
MailMate, given the complexity and never-ending stream of special-casing 
imposed by the real world of email. Making a MUA as robust as MM on iOS 
is a huge challenge and I would fear it breaking his long running track 
record of keeping MM great.

I'm not convinced that it is even feasible to make a great MUA for a 
phone. If you start with the same design goals as a great macOS MUA, you 
end up with a MUA like Preside, which is highly capable but too 
complicated for the tiny screen.
