I’m looking at different mail apps, and trying to move away from gmail to icloud but drat, it’s hard. Anyway are there any good 3rd party mail apps that won’t spy on your poo poo? I would like ones that have good auto sorting and can have rules to run to clean up mailboxes. Would be a pay app because I assume all the free ones are just big data harvesters. Even the pay ones, who knows. I’m not quite at the level to go to protonmail yet..

Hey sorry if this is a dumb bad question but can anyone recommend a whatsapp for ipad app / solution that won't 1) take ages to load in safari and be a pain in the rear end 2) steal my messages and blackmail me with them?

Ideally the app would be as close to FairEmail (Android) as possible, i.e. open source, with a sane privacy policy, and highly configurable. I’d settle for the first two as long as it ends up being better then Apple Mail. Unfortunately, it seems like a couple of otherwise interesting mail apps do weird poo poo like run your email over one of their servers as a relay or something.

Yeah Spark was one but ai think their privacy is questionable. Ironic I had been looking at Hey but then the whole basecamp thing.

I’ve had multiple phases where I’ve gone through pretty much every app on iOS to find the best iOS app and I keep coming to the conclusion that the answer is outlook.

I like how it does the organization stuff on the device. Although I hope there is a way to sync that between your devices like iphone/ipad etc.

You know, I've been following apps and whatever's deemed "cool" for a long rear end time, but one thing I've never understood is why people seemingly desperately always need a new Mail app. The only single improvement I would need and want from the default Mail app is better searching.

What I really want is a mail app that does sorting well and can set up automated stuff to clean up mailboxes by dumping advertising after a week or whatever.. Stuff you can do in the outlook desktop app with rules etc. I have it all sorted out so have different boxes for different priorities, colour coding etc.. sigh I really should just use Outlook I guess. I was reading about Big Mail and it doesn't really sound totally my thing especially for a subscription fee that high ($10/mo).

FairEmail allowed me to get push messages for both my personal and work account, but also to set up rules so that I only get notified of work email during my actual work hours. That’s huge for my sanity. Sorting is another thing where Mail is just lacking. For example, archiving doesn’t even use folders for years; it all has to be done manually.

People’s email needs are wildly different so there’s a ton of client that are all slightly different in small ways but those differences are make or break to a lot of people’s workflows. Personally I just read my email like twice and day and delete stuff I don’t need manually, I don’t use any rules or filters at all. I get a small, manageable amount of mail though so my inbox management won’t work for many people. The only reading I don’t use the built in Mail.app is because I want my emails to have an avatar next to the sender name and not having that is a dealbreaker for me. Very weird.

I'm happily using hey email, it's fantastic. I don't hate email anymore, the screener is a wonderful tool. I forwarded my old Gmail account to catch anything I missed in the transition and haven't looked back. The iOS is good and they've made meaningful updates regularly.

I'd love to actually use Mail.app but I always find that it never notifies me of a new email or refresh in the background. So every couple of hours I have to load the app up and it'll refresh new mail.

I bounced between Airmail and Spark before finally just accepting my fate with Edison. I know they're selling my data, but it's the best combo of features I've found. Hey was good. If the app had allowed me to add other non-Hey email accounts I probably would have kept it. Or if this was 2010 again, because in 2021 email seems to have devolved into something less 'productive' and more 'tolerable'. Also Mail.app is the most aggressively disappointing application Apple has ever made.

I have my personal email accounts in mail.app which works perfectly well for what I need it to - notifying me of the incoming email so I can blindly delete it as it’s garbage. Outlook I prefer to work well so I can react to things without being in the office, and it is very bad at that. Godforbid multiple people respond individually to an email I sent to a bunch of recipients as it manages to over complicate it, and the fact the badge number is unable to ever accurately reflect the true number of unread emails as soon as it’s above 0. It’s been a bit better recently, I can only assume this in error and it’ll go back to its usual ways in a future update.

Anyone know how to dispense with Shortcut notifications? I’ve got them turned off in Settings but I’m using a shortcut that changes my wallpaper on a schedule & I’m still getting a notification after each wallpaper switch.

I’ve got them turned off in Settings but I’m using a shortcut that changes my wallpaper on a schedule & I’m still getting a notification after each wallpaper switch. I have never seen the ability to disable Shortcut notifications from its settings page, but you can if you poke around through Screen Time. Settings -> Screen Time Under the Daily Average graph tap See All Activity Scroll down to the Notifications section Expand the list of apps that send notifications until you see Shortcuts If it doesn't allow you to tap into it, go to a previous day with the day selector at the top Tap into Shortcuts and disable notifications from there I have to reset this about once a week, but it silences all notifications that I am aware of

dc3k posted:I have never seen the ability to disable Shortcut notifications from its settings page, but you can if you poke around through Screen Time. Yeah, I found it after searching for a bit. Odd place to put it, but it works. Whoever wrote the article I came across suggested that if you can't tap on it after selecting "See All Activity", just switch from "Week" to "Day" at the top of the page, then back to "Week". That's what worked for me. Any type of phone restart/shutdown re-enables the notifications though, which, okay Apple, I guess turning them off was a mistake?

Not sure of this is the right thread, but is there a way in the Steam Link iOS app to tell my PC to run games in a different aspect ratio but only when launched from the iPad? They’ll default to 16:9 like my actual monitor but since the iPad is 4:3 it’d be nice to fill that space if I could.

Loads of users who bought the app + desktop player when it wasn't free got really angry when they were switched to a 3-year premium membership. Then Shiftyjelly overcorrected massively and switched them all to lifetime subs and basically guaranteed they'd never get any revenue from their pre-freemium users.
