What is Mailspring?
Mailspring is a desktop email client designed for macOS High Sierra, Windows 10 and Linux. With modern features like unified inbox, snoozing, templates, offline search, and support for Gmail labels, Mailspring will breathe life back into your tired inbox! Mailspring is free and supports all IMAP providers, including Gmail, Office 365 and iCloud. Mailspring does not support Exchange ActiveSync. If your work revolves around email, Mailspring Pro (an optional subscription) adds even more features, supercharging the app with read receipts, link tracking, send later, reminders, contact profiles, etc.
Features: • Unified Inbox - See all your email in a single view • Powerful Search - Use Gmail search syntax across all your accounts • Gestures - Swipe to archive from the thread list • Signatures - Create signatures and set defaults per-account • Aliases - Send email from aliases you've configured • Quicklook Integration - See previews of attachments and PDFs within the app • Notifications - Get rich notifications and reply directly from Notification Center • Drag & drop - Move emails, add attachments, and more with drag and drop everywhere • Gmail Labels - Label threads and add, remove, and manage labels within the app • Keyboard Shortcuts - Choose from popular presets or create custom shortcuts • Message Templates - Save emails as templates—complete with variables—and quickly autofill messages • Undo Send - Never accidentally send an email again
Mailspring Pro brings even more: • Snooze - Dismiss messages until you're ready to handle them • Reminders - Be reminded when emails you send haven't received replies • Tracking - See when recipients open your messages and click links • Contact Profiles - See bios, profile pictures, and more for recipients • Scheduling - Schedule emails to be sent at a particular date and time • Company Info - View company size, location, local time and more at a glance • And many more - see the website for a full list of Pro features

I love the features but not the price. The swipe functions are smooth; the snooze later works great.
NEW, though, is a limit of opening only 5 emails per week? Don't update if you have an older version. I cannot afford $8 a month, so I will have to switch programs.
Muy recomendable, puedes añadir 4 cuentas gratis, interfaz de usuario (GUI) bonita, y en la próxima actualización se espera un calendario (Calendar) para sincronizar con Google Calendar u otros.
There are a lot of really neat things about this mail client. I was briefly very excited by it. But it's a dead product with deal-breaking bugs.
It's a poorly optimized web-app (Electron) that takes up a lot of disk space and burns through battery on a laptop. Often needs to be closed and re-opened to restore responsiveness. Typing long messages in particular make is churn down to several seconds between visual updates.
It doesn't integrate with any address book of any kind.
The composer is very basic - think boilerplate WYSIWYG. No image resizing. No tables. I could go on.
It's a paid product making a sustainable amount of revenue (unless there are really only a handful of subscribers), showing that the maintainer is negligent or unskilled to the extent that it's unreasonable to think that these problems will be fixed within even the next half decade.

Speaking as the new Volunteer Community Manager, the project is NOT abandoned.
Development temporarily halted due to 2020 being what it was, but it has resumed. 1.8.0 just released this week, and another release is planned for the next couple of weeks.
Also, the revenue is not as high as you might think. The costs of providing some of the premium features is substantial. The maintainer is far from negligent or unskilled, but he also has limited time, as he has a full time job besides this. Open source contributions enable Mailspring to move forward.

Well, we're 2 years into my estimated "next half decade" and people are still experiencing these issues. It doesn't give me any confidence to hear that the maintainer is spending so much on "some of the premium features" while basic fundamental functionality and stability languishes.

This issue is still apparent in July 2021. So many of their users are now switching back to the email client they came from. The software is riddled with bugs making it unusable, and many of us have paid for it. If open source contributions are needed to move this software forward then the core developer should be focusing on this instead of just hoping that people will come forward. Many of it's users, including the agency I am from, have no knowledge of working with Electron - surely they must have a community somewhere to try and bring developers into this project...(?)

Meh... I though that was an alternative to Apple Mail, but the action rules are more basic than in the build in app. I will continue with apple mail.
If you want to sell an alternative, at least get the same features from the build ones in the OS, is a very low bar to achieve.
Electron based. Not based at all :/
$8/ month subscription-service, if one wants to use eg. their read-receipt- & send-later-function (which would obviously cost $96/ year & $480 for five years! A Micros-subscription for their whole office-package including mail-client costs less!
Unfortunately, I'm having to leave this poor review. The email client looked very promising when I first started using it, and I even upgraded to a paid subscription.
Since then however, I, as well as many other users, have encountered several bugs causing this to be too disruptive to work with. All of which are being reported regularly by users, all of which have now gone several months with zero attention or response.
This software seems to be abandoned and the core developer has not bothered with any of the problems for some time now. I do not recommend anyone even tries to use Mailspring until these bugs start being addressed, it is simply unusable as it is right now.
