    Bluemail is pretty. It’s advanced features are more designed for businesses, so the free personal email is best for people who just want a simple app.

    Not a lot of customization abilities. Can't even find a way to change fonts in composition mode. Too simplistic. Feels like I'm using an android/ios app on my macbook. I want more functionality, not more simplicity.
