Ondrej Holzman When I wrote about Airmail in February as a finally adequate replacement for the defunct Mailbox, as well as one of the best email clients on the market, it lacked only one thing – an iPad app. However, that changes with the arrival of Airmail 1.1.
In addition, iPad support is far from the only thing that the first major update of Airmail brings. Although for many it will be the most important. The developers have also adapted the application to new multitasking options and support keyboard shortcuts, so working on the iPad can be really efficient.
Once you press CMD, you will see a list of available shortcuts. In addition, if you don't like the standard ones, Airmail can switch to familiar shortcuts from Gmail. In addition to all this, the application also offers the option of customizing five buttons, so you can truly customize Airmail to the maximum.
In addition to iPad support, Airmail 1.1 brings several other interesting novelties that iPhone owners will also use. With Gmail or Exchange accounts, you can now send a message at a specified time, usually later, and you can now create a quick sketch directly in Airmail for emails.
Newly, Airmail also allows you to notify whether the message has been read by the other party. Everything works by attaching an invisible image to the message, so when the other party opens it, you will receive a push notification that it has been read. However, not everyone requires (or is comfortable with) this feature, so it is turned off by default.
Furthermore, in Airmail 1.1 you can create smart folders when searching, on the iPad you can move between messages with a swipe of two fingers, and there is also a button to unsubscribe from newsletters. Many users will be interested in the option of Touch ID (or password) protection whenever you start the application. And finally, Airmail is now in Czech on iOS as well.

You have no idea if it can also attach an authorized digital signature, like a native iOS mail application?
Couldn't you do a more detailed review focusing on free competitors like the built-in Mail app or the Gmail app? Thank you.
