Mailbird
I used Mailbird on Windows a while ago and quite liked it. When I saw that they planned to make a macOS version I signed up for their mail list immediately. Now, years later I finally got an email to join the beta and hopped right in. Unfortunately Mailbird has since switched away from developing a native app to electron. Mailbird is almost 1GB in size which makes it more than 30x larger than Apple mail. This enormous size leads to relatively long startup times and the interface has an overall sluggish feeling to it and doesn't feel native at all. Being not happy at all, I requested a refund only to get an automated email that the support email address they link to is no longer active. Bummer! I contacted their feedback address and have yet to receive a refund. Edit: The refund is now being processed! Bad product, bad business practices. Stay away.

What needs improvement
