Apple Mail is good until it isn't.

That¹s mostly how I feel about it. I don¹t put any demands on it because
I don¹t work anymore. It¹s just simple, basic personal use. It works okay

i've never seen apple mail crash.

however, i have seen it frequently fail to properly sync mail, plus its
filters are a lost cause.

unfortunately, other email apps are worse.
