MailButler – Personal Assistant for Apple Mail

No argument that this is an upgrade to a fairly lackluster mail client. However, Airmail has all of the features listed here plus a killer iOS client, more 3rd party app integration, real time push notifications for Gmail (in the case if the iOS client vs the terrible default mail app), syncs settings/accounts across all clients AND its blazing fast. All of that for a one time fee vs the monthly pricing scheme here for pro accounts. I made the switch a few years ago and have never looked back.

Tons of cool features, and yet not the one I need. Am I the only one who wants my dock icon badge to show the total number of emails in my inbox, not just the number of unread emails? I follow the inbox zero philosophy, and treat my inbox like a todo list. Ugh, anyone have any idea how to hack Apple Mail to do this?

I suggest reading the privacy policy before using the product, because using it has certain repercussions for the people you send mail to -- it includes a hidden tracker in every mail you send out, and they claim it is the responsibility of the recipient to make sure they do not get tracked.

Isn't this a subscription service?

Speaking only for myself, I refuse to use any software on my desktop/laptop that is only available by subscription. If I choose not to make the next months payment, I want to be able to continue to use the software.
