Review Mimestream?

Reviewers largely praise Mimestream as a fast, stable, polished Mac email client that works especially well with Gmail. Users repeatedly call out strong Gmail integration, reliable sync, support for categories, aliases, labels, and handling multiple Gmail accounts without issues. The main friction is pricing: several people like the app but say a subscription puts them off, especially compared with a one-time purchase. A few also want broader email provider support, scheduled sending, denser inbox views, and easier light/dark mode switching.

Congrats on the launch folks 🎉 I’ve used Mimestream as my only desktop client since September 2020 and I’ve been impressed with the quality of your work and rigorous approach running this beta for such a long period. Your app feels like one of those “good apps” that were so common back on the Mac OS X Tiger days. Apps where everything feels native but also pushes the envelope here and there to make it a really delightful experience. Mimestream hits that sweet spot 100%. I’ve just subscribed and I only hope you make enough money with this to justify the development of an iOS client so I can get rid of the Gmail app on my iPhone and stop remembering the good old Mailbox days. Congrats again and thanks for creating this little productivity jewel 🙏

Congrats on the launch @neil_jhaveri. I'm an active user of Mimestream and love the deep integration the platform allows between Gmail and Mac OS, offering great sync speed. Gmail Categories is a must for me and Mimestream handles that pretty well. Looking forward to future deployments.

Been using the beta for over a year and never had an issue, so had to support the development. I realise scheduled messaging isn't available via the Gmail API, but I'd love to have support for this (via a mimestream server I guess).
