[MlMt] iOS emailer?

[Blayne Puklich]

How about crowdfunding to help Benny support another person to help with an iOS version instead?

There’s one example of a pretty good app that works on MacOS and iOS - OmniFocus. They do it, so why not for MailMate in some form?

         I'd explain it to you, but your brain would explode.

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.
