The only thing I dislike about this video is your cable management in the bottom left corner of the screen when you’re talking to the camera. Can’t keep my eyes off it. Apart from that, thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the feedback on that! Yeah I should do a better job at that! :) I am doing some more studio upgrades and going to be getting more stuff up off the floor and mounted up on the ceiling in the near future, so hopefully that will take care of some of that cable management.
I’ve been looking through your videos, you are so underrated! A lot of them are cool and helpful. I would think someone like this would be at least 3k. I just subbed and hit that little bell. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the compliment! I am hoping to get a lot more subs soon! If you have any friends or family that are into tech make sure you send them over to my channel and have them subscribe! Each and every subscriber that I get means the world to me.
Yes, I’ll give that a close look, is it compatible with Apple Watch an can Google Hub Max, read incoming mail?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response
I’m looking for suggestions. I want a free or onetime fee email to use. I have several dozen of emails. I’d like for them to be able to be saved/synced so I wouldn’t have to type them all in just the main one. And could have few main emails separated in one grouping and is set to sync new mail more often. Is this possible? Or do I need to always type emails info in on new phones and use 2 email apps? Thanks
Whoa!! Where did this guy come from? Watched the whole video and felt like “mission accomplished,” and got a solid context for changing email clients; and with barely an irrelevant word. But Andrew is a lookalike foe Rick Moranis! I want to call his channel Tech Busters or title this video “Honey, I shrunk My Inbox” Andrew, keep ‘em coming.
Thanks so much for the comment! Please share my channel with others that you may know 😀 who are interested in technology. I’m trying to build up my subscription base. 😀
Spark often stops my computer from being able to turn off because it's busy doing something. If I override it, I lose all my emails from the day. I used to love them but they're pretty messed up now.
It does not have mail RULES !!! :( :( :( I was just about to switch. I even installed and setup up all my accounts and discovered it does not have one simple feature that mail.app does. My only issues with mail is that it has problems polling the servers, especially my work account (zimbra server) and the flagged folder shows and hides on its own. I do not have any issue in deleting the worng email nor emails just disappering. Spark appears to be just as much of a memory hog as Mac’s mail.app.
Hi Mike, that is odd! I don't use rules that often however after looking into this more I found out that indeed you are correct. However, it DOES look like there's a feature called "Smart Folders" which are sort of like rules where you can tell the "Smart Folder" to only display only what meets certain criteria. So in a round about way it's kind of like a "virtual" rule. More info here: sparkmailapp.com/help/158-create-a-smart-folder.html It was interesting because when I searched for "rules" on Spark's website it pulled up "Smart Folders"... So maybe it's their way of doing rules but virtually? Here's a link where you can suggest where they add actual official "Rules" to Spark as a feature.. readdle.com/support?app=spark_mac I totally agree with you though, it's something that they could add to improve Spark. :)
Wow! Thanks for pointing this out Mike Mans! I, like you, use a lot or 'rules' for my email and if Spark does not have it I'll have to pass. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Lack of RULES changes my workflow too much. I installed Spark but didn't like the small toolbar icons and the lack of customization of the interface. I don't want to pay the $$$ but I think Postbox is for me.
Hello. Excellent an informative video. I was just wondering why you don’t like read receipts?? Now, I realize that Canary does have this and I’m mainly using this due to some businesses not responding for whatever reason but I can tell if I’m being ignored, so that’s one of the big things I’m looking for
I actually like read receipts... I just never really use them, so it doesn't really bother me that Spark removed the feature a few years ago. However from a business perspective I can see why a lot of people miss the app having this feature.
Does it have an AUTO REPLY feature so that a prewritten template can be sent when a word is triggered in the subject line or the body text, similar to what Mozilla Thunderbird can do on desktop applications?
Good question Jay! I don’t believe it does (yet) have that feature. It’s a good question though! I’d suggest you send them off an email seeing if that’s something they could add. readdle.com/support?app=spark_mac
Se puede crear una lista de correos para mandarles? o sea, tengo una lista de correos que le mando a todos el mismo mal, por lo que hacer una lista que al hacer un correo nuevo poner eso y ya te ponga todos los mails y no tener que cada vez agregarlos uno por uno? gracias
Thanx for the comparison, you gave some good details. I downloaded Spark a few years ago but was on the fence ( then I forgot it was on my devices lol). After seeing the comparisons, I’m finally gonna give Spark some attention now! lol😊 *subscribed since I see some good videos in your list, thanx for your hard work😉
I’m glad you’re giving Spark another shot. 😀 Thanks so much for the subscription and the compliment, much appreciated. If you have anyone else interested in techie stuff send them my way! 😀
@@LoveTech4U Definitely will... I FINALLY got it all set up today and 😳!!! Lol I have a little adjusting to do so I can transition smoothly, but other than that, I like what I see so far.☺️
That’s awesome! Yeah even though there are a few features Spark lacks I still have found it to be the best most reliable email app for Mac! 😌 Keep me updated on how it goes or if you have any questions.
Hello and good evening. Excellent video very informative. I was just wondering if there was read receipts with Spark?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response
Good question! I did some research on this and it seems that it has delivery receipts but not read receipts. They apparently a few years back had this feature but for some reason removed it due to privacy concerns. 😕
@@LoveTech4U Oh wow, well that’s stinks. So would you know, which other email like Spark or Boomerang does have read receipts?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response
@@blackbushido I know Outlook has Read Receipts, but that costs money. However, they are always evolving Spark so I'd suggest you submit this as a feature you'd like them to add here: support.readdle.com/spark/contact-us-page There's a spot on this page where you can suggest new features to be added. :)
Spark does have an Apple Watch App along with Apple Watch Notifications in watch complications . As for Google Home Integration, I don’t think it has that, but then again I am more of an Amazon Alexa person myself.
If your folders (I am assuming in iCloud) then when you setup Spark you should be able to see all of them if you click on the “hamburger” menu in the top left corner of the app on your iPhone and then scroll down until you see your iCloud email address. Click on your iCloud email address and this will expand all of the folders that are housed on the iCloud server. This is how you access all of your folders in Spark on your iPhone.
I wish it was available for windows as there is no decent free email desktop app that allows to link more than one email address that also has a calendar
They are working on a Windows Native app and it should be out soon. Check their progress here: sparkmailapp.com You can sign up for their Windows version updates there to be kept in the loop. 😀

Well on the subject of thunderbird - it's open for third parties and add-ons are free, so... There is add-on called "Send later"... And secondly - it has a dark theme, not wrap.. But I may be mistaking. Anyway - great video! Gonna instal spark for android right away! 😄
Yeah I noticed that about a week after I uploaded the video. Gotta love the “Hey Siri” functionality when it misinterprets you saying something that sounds like that. Haha.
Apple mail handling of attachment ... horrendous, it shows them in email body, a deal breaker for me ... and workaround no longer works and no option to turn it off ...
Yeah, man, you're absolutely right. Spark is I think the best mail client on the market at the moment. I was looking for an app that also synchronizes my account settings on all devices. The only app that can do that is Spark. And not only the Windows app is in development, but they will also release a web based version. Super cool, right? Furthermore the macOS app will be completely reworked and all apps, the Windows, macOS and the web app will look almost identical. So they will be unrivaled on the market. But let's not fool ourselves. The time will come when there will be a subscription model. But hey, for such an app, which can do everything I need, I am willing to pay. Aren't you?
Yeah it is pretty shocking in my mind that in 2020 there isn’t;t any other email app (that I know about) that can do such a great job at syncing all of my settings across all of my devices. That is also interesting to hear that they’ll be releasing a web-based version of Spark. I hadn’t heard about that one yet... Any ideas as to when that will be released?
I really like Spark because it’s similar to the iOS native mail app but better. Reason I started with Spark is because getting Gmail push notifications
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I would have liked info on spam filtering capability, if any. I find this to be the most difficult issue in my daily use of an email client.
Yeah good suggestion! The spam filter (to my knowledge) is pretty automatic in Spark. I know of have to go in manually and check my Spam folder from time to time as stuff does get caught in there.
Try going into system Preferences on your Mac then into “notifications” then from within there scroll down to Spark and you should see an option to enable notifications and also to enable sounds
I struggled with this too when I first downloaded it. It actually does have this feature to show your folders. To enable this, on the menu bar, click on "Spark" > "Preferences" and then click on the "Folders" tab inside of the window dialogue box. From here you can select which folders you want to have appear in your inbox. If you have nested folders, I suggest you just enable the "Top Level" folders and then you'll be able to expand them and see your sub folders. I hope this helps you! :)
@@LoveTech4U sadly, it does not show all of the subfolders nested under Inbox. Also it doesn't have an option or shortcut to Go to a Folder as in to jump to a folder.
Have you tried adding one of the folders under you inbox? That’s what I had to do. Then that folder along with any sub folders will show up. If you just have your Inbox checked in the folder list I don’t believe it works. Spark I don’t think classifies your Inbox as a traditional folder. This is pretty common among other email clients as well.
Thank you! I was about five minutes from paying $20 to canary. Then I saw your video.
No problem 😀 I was looking at actually getting Canary too myself until I did more research on it too and found Spark. Thanks for the compliment 😀
Thank you for sharing this, it was exactly what I was looking for an email app!!!
No problem! I am so glad you liked the video and can't wait to produce more great content soon. :)

Hello,
There is a way to move your folders to spark from mail (iPhone)
And how do you create a new folder?
If your folders (I am assuming in iCloud) then when you setup Spark you should be able to see all of them if you click on the “hamburger” menu in the top left corner of the app on your iPhone and then scroll down until you see your iCloud email address. Click on your iCloud email address and this will expand all of the folders that are housed on the iCloud server. This is how you access all of your folders in Spark on your iPhone.
What about Gmail? Or do you only compare actual APPS?
I only compare Apps, not web-based email clients.
Doesn't Spark store your email on their servers? So they have access to my emails.
I wish it was available for windows as there is no decent free email desktop app that allows to link more than one email address that also has a calendar
They are working on a Windows Native app and it should be out soon. Check their progress here: sparkmailapp.com

Awesome! Yeah Spark is awesome! Yeah, Thunderbird probably has made a lot of improvements since I used it last.
Lol you were literally dictating your whole script to Siri on the iPad lol
Yes! I saw that when I was editing the video. 😆 I must have said something that sounded like Siri when I was talking. 😂
Anyone else notice he kept activating Siri in the background and it was writing EVERYTHING he said?
Yeah I noticed that about a week after I uploaded the video. Gotta love the “Hey Siri” functionality when it misinterprets you saying something that sounds like that. Haha.
Apple mail handling of attachment ... horrendous, it shows them in email body, a deal breaker for me ... and workaround no longer works and no option to turn it off ...
Yeah I always hated that about Apple Mail!! So annoying.
Oh man, I was just about to download Spark and discovered there's NO Windows version yet ;(
Yeah I sure hope they release the Windows version soon! They have been working on it for over a year now!
Why would they fix a feature? That's silly :)
Haha 😆 yeah, very true.
