Ditch Mavericks's Mail: Other email apps you can try
Mavericks, the latest version of OS X, is named after a popular surfing location in Northern California, a place known for its gigantic waves. For some, using OS X Mavericks has seemed a lot like surfing—and not in a good way. Just when you feel like you’re having a rad run, you launch Mail 7.0, and suddenly your whole experienced is wrecked. Mail ends up being the massive wave that wipes out any good karma you had.
Mail 7.0 has its problems, especially if you use it with Gmail, and whether Apple will fix those problems or not remains to be seen. (After all, Google and Apple are rivals, and the two have had issues. Anyone remember the maps fiasco?)
If the Gmail issue proves to be the last straw for you, it might be time to ditch Mail and find another email client. I’ve gathered the names of programs available for the Mac today; many are free or have a trial version you can try. Also, take a look at the quick-reference chart of Mac email clients we’ve reviewed. Please add your thoughts and experiences with third-party email clients in our comments section. The list below is provided in alphabetical order.
