I've used Airmail for a long time and I liked most of it, but search experience was quite bad. It was slow and results were not as smart. I've migrated to Inbox(via Boxy app) since then, search experience there is superb to other products(fast with suggestions & corrections). I see "Online Search" as one of the new features. How does it work?

@nikitakorotaev it use the full Gmail syntax even if you have no messages downloads, and you can create a smart folder of this.
@nikitakorotaev I just tried searching in the new version and I would say it has been improved a lot!
@kushsolitary @nikitakorotaev there is space for improvement but overall is quite powerful
@nikitakorotaev I had the same experience with the search but the search is AWESOME now! I'm a lifer now!
@raimonnemar @nikitakorotaev @leonardo_4473 I was waiting for that improvement too! Just updated from the pervious version and yeah, search now seems to work a lot better! Thanks Airmail!
Was keen to try it out as now attachments can be sent to Evernote. Spent 2 hrs deleting, filing and getting in order but those changes have not synced to google apps. Anyone else have this issue? I've submitted a ticket but wasn't too comforted by this response "I will come up with an update soon. This takes time just because the technical team is not around all the time as they are busy with major updates for Airmail. Thank you for the patience." Tried rebuilding database but there is a difference of around 300 emails :-(
@uxdzen It really is. However it's definitely buggy and I wish they had a better update mechanism for their Beta program.
@uxdzen Totally agree. I've tested so many email clients since Mailbox was shut down by Dropbox, no client comes even close to the stability and snappiness that Airmail offers – Polymail, Nylas, and other new clients are a slow and clunky mess in comparison.
I've been using the 3.0 beta for a few months, and it's really nice to see how far it came since the initial versions. Also, really happy they removed delivery tracking in the in RC – too much of an invigilation for my taste.
"New – Send Later (Gmail and Exchange)" 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
Been using Airmail since 1.0 and it's fantastic. Great to see it's getting better all the time.
I've got AirMail 2.0 installed from the App Store but there's no update notification for me? Is the update limited to specific regions at all? Thanks.

Sparrow, Airmail 1, 2 and now 3...not looking back :)
Thanks for the joint archive folder...that's a blessing!
@marklyttleton no yet, we do have our solution almost ready, not sure the have public API... if they willing to implement.
Finally I can see entire emails that extend below the fold. Everyone I know that uses email clients want to see their entire emails, though I could understand the feature of hiding long emails because long emails are probably terrible and the app actually saved me a lot of time. I guess it took 3 major releases to finally give in to what the majority of users wanted: to see the entire email.
There's a lot of ways to try to disrupt email, but I feel like they made a mistake in hiding long emails that went below the fold. Glad things have changed.
Sarcasm aside, I'd love to know what took so damn long. You'd think displaying emails sits pretty high up on the priority features of the app. Receive / Send emails reliably should encompass the idea of showing the full email. Maybe it was technically hard, especially with HTML email? Anyway, there must be a great reason why.
It's minor, but the one feature keeping me on Sparrow is a hot key to hide/show the whole app - so you can quickly press a key, see your email, and press it again to get back to what you were doing. Is there a way to do this with airmail? If so, I can't seem to find it..
My favorite (and in my opinion best) email client for Mac, and iOS too. I searched far and wide for a substitute after Mailbox shutdown. Finally settled on this and it has been great.
Now to find a substitute for Sunrise 😔
@mccauley_jay On Sunrise substitute need: me too! I was super bummed when Sunrise got shut down. I ended up surrendering to the cost of the newest Fantastical for all of my devices. So far it's been pretty good. Can't compare with Sunrise (especially considering how much more expensive it is).
Looks awesome! Is single-sign on available yet? (sign in with all your accounts once, and then you only need one login to bring them all back on a new computer or iOS)
@adamdepasqua no yet and wasnt looking a good idea collecting user credentials when iCloud can sync all them and is supported already.
@leonardo_4473 I tried downloading the beta version you linked to here and it doesn't get all my messages ... is there something I'm missing here? Or should I just keep waiting and be patient? :)
@allnick the initialization is very conservative to avoid throttling, but you can perform most operations already
