Was just thinking this!

I really hate this trend of making absolutely everything a web view / Electron.

Absolutely out of control.

I said this in another comment but, if you’re looking for a modern take on Mail.app as if Apple themselves made it, but with best-in-class PGP support and modern features like Inbox had (snoozing, read receipts, etc)… check out https://apps.apple.com/us/app/canary-mail-ai-email-client/id1155470386

Works across iOS / iPadOS / macOS

Nope, been waiting for it to go on a good sale, haha. I did play Anno 1404 a lot though and it’s a lot of fun, basically “what if Settlers was good?”. I see the remastered version is on sale on Steam right now for €4.

I mean, you asked for the best mail app without any criteria! If you don’t care about anything but the basics, then you already have the best one - Apple’s Mail.app.

Canary’s features are really useful for work. If you use encrypted email, it’s really the best client out there because it “just works” easily without all the encryption configurations and shit.

Haven’t heard of Pixelfed before; how’s the user base?

Sigh, the last few Settlers games have all been kind of underwhelming, no?

I’ve been playing a ton of multiplayer Age of Empires 3 DE and Age of Empires 4 on my Mac Studio with this, and it works really well, 55-75 fps at 5120x2160. A binary made for another operating system and processor architecture! Hard to think of a more iconic Windows and Microsoft game either, just makes it even more ironic!

It works pretty well on Android. They have a lot of curated “categories” which are like a mix of Spotify’s curated playlists combined with Pandora radio, which is pretty cool. Also, lossless audio is included at no extra cost, which is great if you have a DAC and nice headphones on your Mac/PC

I cannot recommend Canary Mail enough. It’s like the redesigned Mail.app that Apple themselves should have made. Looks, works and feels like a system app that Apple shipped, but adds a ton of neat stuff like PGP encryption, read receipts, GPT-powered email composition and email thread summaries, and more.

Awesome, cheers! I'll check it out! Thanks man.
