100. Which Email App Should I Use?
Published on: Feb 13, 2026
Episode summary
My top choice for email app, both on my phone and my laptop, is the native Fastmail app. This app only works though if Fastmail is your email provider - which I highly recommend. I have been using Fastmail as my primary email account since 2013.
I also have several gmail accounts and for them, I use the gmail app on my phone, and Mimestream on my laptop. It's a strange sounding name I know. Unfortunately, it's only available on Mac, and it costs money, but it's built specifically for gmail and works beautifully. I've tried a lot of different apps, and Mimestream is my favorite.
For Windows (also works on Mac), my top paid recommendation is Spark.
If you're looking for a free option, Thunderbird works well. If you are a Mac user (like me), then Apple Mail is also a solid free option.
