I wish it could do something what should be seemingly incredible simple task - sync and download ALL the email.
But afaik Mail iOS can’t do it, Gmail ios app can’t do it , and no other mail app I tried seems to be able to, which seems absurd.
replyAll I want is all the mail and attachments downloaded locally the way normal desktop mail clients work. Not the last 90 days of it (Gmail ios max) - all of it, I don’t care if it’s many gigabytes or more, i just want the full mail, so that something as full text local search of the email would actually work…
Yeah, the only thing it doesn't do is shared inboxes with Microsoft Office accounts. I would really like to uninstall Microsoft Outlook.
reply> it doesn't do
replyFor a company focused on privacy, I'd love GnuPG integrated into the mail app.

replyIt does have S/MIME, I think?
replyIt does. But I have used S/MIME maybe a handful of times in my career. Whereas, GnuPG dozens of times a day, and in my personal life.
replyDo you use GPG for signing primarily or also for email encryption? Dozens of times a day puts you in rarefied GnuPG air!
replyOh, that would be awesome.
replyI struggle to get it to search things. Even emails within the last few days. It'll show me irrelevant mail from years ago but not yesterday's.
replyI also don't like that it renders PDF attachments. Just seems to be enabling scammers
it's also much too trusting of the senders From field. I get emails all the time that look like they come from Apple or a bank, etc. I have to tap the name before it shows the actual from address.
replyYeah that too! I've only had an iPhone for a few years but as soon as I used Mail I immediately understood why my parents got phished. Mail hid all signals people would normally use. Their spam detection is bad too. In my first week I got a PayPal used to buy bitcoin scam and neither Gmail nor Thunderbird showed it (both flagged as spam). Both also just showed it was an empty email with only a PDF attachment whereas Mail showed what looked like a normal email, including an address that looked like PayPal's.
replyI also notice it doesn't handle relayed emails well. I have a bunch of dummy emails and Mail doesn't show me the relayed name, which really hinders my ability to track and combat spam
I agree, I often find what I am searching for quicker by using the Gmail app instead.
