Ryan Faas / IDGĮdison Mail’s intelligent search technology can automatically filter for emails related to travel, package, billing, and other topics. It also offers the ability to view and cancel email subscriptions with a single tap. It offers a consumer-oriented feature set that’s also useful for business users, with the ability to manage travel plans, package tracking, bills and receipts, and refund status, and more when it detects pertinent information in your emails. Edison MailĮdison Mail supports all major email services. With an annual subscription, premium features start at $5 a month for individuals and $7 per user per month for organizations. For organizations, there are options to share draft emails and common email templates, shared storage space, and the ability to assign messages or threads to specific team members. For individuals, this includes options to set priorities for certain messages or senders, block and set “gatekeeper” rules, group emails by sender, and mute discussion threads that don’t require immediate attention. Spark also offers a set of premium features for both individuals and organizations. Spark’s watchOS app features a very different interface from its iOS and macOS apps, but one that is much more functional for the smaller display - it still supports inbox sorting and most of the other features, and it works well with Apple Handoff. You can also recall a sent email - essentially, you have a few seconds to click “undo” after clicking “send.” It also offers workflow management options, with the ability to mark emails as “done” or “set aside for later review, and its pin feature allows you to mark emails that need a response or a follow-up. Spark offers the ability to snooze messages to look at them later, and it allows most actions like delete, archive, or pin to be done with specific swipes. Spark sorts incoming messages into People, Notifications, and Newsletters sections. This sorting of messages doesn’t place them in separate folders (though Spark does support folders) - it simply separates how you view items in your inbox, and you can switch to a more standard inbox view at any time. This allows you to focus on notification messages and those from individual people immediately, then look through emails sent to groups later. It has a unique interface for helping you sort through your mail by grouping new messages into three categories: people, notifications, and newsletters. Spark is an excellent mail app from Readdle that connects to all the major email services. While the mail component of Outlook is quite good, the calendar component could be better, and you might want to rely on a dedicated calendar app like Fantastical, or Readdle’s Calendars, or Apple’s built-in Calendar. Other useful message handling features include optional message threading and the ability to quickly flag, pin, or snooze messages via swiping or a few taps. Less important emails are placed out of the way in Other tab. Like the Outlook desktop client, the iOS app reduces inbox clutter with an optional Focused Inbox feature, which puts messages Outlook deems more important in the inbox’s main Focused tab. Microsoft also offers an excellent Outlook watchOS app that continues that clean interface. Outlook’s iOS interface is surprisingly clean and easy to navigate - in some ways it’s better than its desktop sibling. Outlook’s clean interface makes the app easy to navigate. It supports other mail services as well, meaning it can be useful if you want a single mail client for work and home, or for situations where you need to access multiple work-related accounts. It connects natively to Exchange and Microsoft 365 and enables deep integration with Outlook for Windows or macOS, making it an excellent and obvious choice in many enterprises. Outlook is Microsoft’s mail and calendar app for iOS.
