Spark

Spark is a desktop email client that aims to improve your relationship with email. Supports Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo! Mail, Exchange and IMAP. Spark is packed with features that aim to make working with email more enjoyable and less overwhelming. Almost every app these days has a snooze and snooze feature, so Spark goes even further. The Command Center (accessed by pressing Command + K) allows you to quickly navigate your email accounts and learn keyboard shortcuts.

canary mail

Canary Mail has always been a great email client. In terms of security, Canary supports end-to-end encryption with PGP, as well as its own SecureSend feature, which allows you to send encrypted messages to anyone regardless of what email service they use. For PGP, you can choose to use Canary's own PGP-based encryption (requiring the recipient to also use Canary), or advanced users can create their own PGP private keys. In contrast, SecureSend is as simple as flipping a switch when composing a new email—if the recipient doesn't have Canary, they'll need to log in to a secure website to see the message. Whichever way you have encryption turned on, no one but the intended recipient can read your message—not even your email provider.
