This shouldn’t be difficult, which is why I love Spark. This is so useful, because on email clients like Outlook, if you unread a message, it’ll often select and open the next message in the list, forcing you to do the same to that one and subsequently devise an irritating workaround where you have to instead select an email you’ve already opened, and then right-click and ‘unread’ the message you want to unread.īored? Me too. With Spark, you can swipe to ‘unread’ messages and set it to deselect once you’ve done so. You can easily leave messages unreadĪlthough I’ve improved my approach to email triage, I do still rely largely on unread messages as a way to remember who I need to reply to. The signature editor is unhindered and syncs across all devices. I cannot fathom why Apple won’t acknowledge that some users want to use their email signatures for marketing purposes.
It’s one of the main reasons I stopped using Apple Mail. Copy and paste your signature into an iPhone or iPad, and you have to shake the device (no, really) to instigate a dialogue box that enables you to correct the formatting which will inevitably have been butchered. Formatting options are limited, and if you want to get smart with HTML and imagery, you’ll need to head into behind-the-scenes files to ensure everything works as intended. If you want to add anything more than plain text, you enter a whole world of pain where you’re expected to copy, paste and pray that it ends up looking ok. But it is biblically stupid when it comes to email signatures. It doesn’t make a pig’s ear of signaturesĪpple Mail isn’t a bad email client. I used to deeply hate the process of setting up email on a new computer. That includes all the additional accounts, signatures and app settings.

All it asks you to do is enter the email address and password of one of your accounts (if you have multiple) and it grabs everything from the cloud.

Whenever you need to install it on a new Mac or iOS device or undertake a reinstallation, Spark is an absolute cinch. This might be my favourite Spark feature. It makes setting up new devices effortless It never complains about the varying types of email service providers behind the scenes, nor does it elongate the setup process when adding a new account. This helps massively with my productivity. With Spark, I can happily keep five separate email accounts neatly in their own little worlds, but also unified. It deals with multiple accounts (properly)įor reasons I won’t bore you with, I have several email accounts I need to monitor.įor additional reasons I won’t bore you with, one of those accounts has to be accessed via Microsoft Outlook, which is another brilliant email client.
Thankfully, Spark has all of this stuff – by the bucketload. Oh, it needs to deal with multiple email accounts effortlessly, too. For instance, the tendency to leave emails unread in order to deal with them (even if I have actually read them), and my desire to have a precisely configured and designed signature (yes, I’m one of those people). I therefore need an email client that can deal with my little email idiosyncrasies. Yes, I treat it with respect and I couldn’t run my business without it, but I’m useless at managing it. And no, this post isn’t sponsored by them – I just think it’s great.ĭon’t worry, I won’t labour the point – there are more exciting topics on the way – but I thought it was time to share my thoughts on this brilliant piece of software. I found the perfect tool for this a couple of years ago. The problem I’ve always had with email is finding the right client to help me manage multiple addresses and deal with my relatively crap approach to email in general. But if you send me an email, you’ll get a reply. I rarely check my DMs on social media and always, always forget to reply to people on Facebook Messenger.
