Mail applications for Mac
What are some good mail applications for Mac? I have several emails that I need to check on a daily basis so I prefer to use a mail application so I can check them all at once.


I was using the Mail.app that comes with the Macbook Pro; however I realized that the emails don't sync with the server - that is, when I delete on my computer, they don't delete online.

I tried to use but Outlook Mail application but I'm having trouble adding my hotmail.ca (not .com) account and my club's email which still uses univmail.cis.mcmaster .ca.

I also tried to download mbox Mail app for Mac but for some reason it won't sync with my computer.

Does anybody know any other good mail applications for Mac (preferably free or relatively cheap?)

Do you mean in the application or on the site?

It doesn't have the option for my hotmail.ca account. See here: http://grab.by/qcb2

Use GMAIL! It can be set to retrieve multiple accounts from different providers. All web interface means you can access it anywhere you can browse internet.

I did and I found out that all my other emails sync, just not my hotmail one. :/

YEP! Gmail can be set to receive any mails from any providers. Here is a instruction for Hotmail.

You can use Gmail to send and reply as if you were using your hotmail, or McMaster email, or any email. It will be just a drop down box to select what address you want to send as.

Thank you! I'll look into it, though I really prefer to have an application that I can open on my computer (feels weird to use the browser after not using it for so long)
