Preside is the best – Preside Review

For years I periodically invested time evaluating different mail apps because the one I was using (e.g., the default app, or Outlook, Spark, Airmail, Edison...) left me dissatisfied for one reason or another. Last year I discovered Preside. It's very good right out of the box, and tweaking a handful of the numerous settings options made it nearly perfect. Preside is analogous to a topnotch desktop mail client (I use MailMate). I particularly appreciate features like the ability to send and receive both plain text and HTML messages, tag and file messages quickly, use (and create!) smart folders, and manage attached files. I don't have much need for automating actions on messages, but Preside has that ability. The search function, which works on downloaded messages, is fast and thorough, even allowing use of Boolean operators and saving searches. And the user can even manage how many messages are downloaded to the device, so it doesn't overtax device storage. It's rarely necessary to contact the developer, but it's comforting to know that Rich responds quickly to questions and makes timely fixes for the rare problems that arise.
