Hijacking this comment, but it seems likely to attract the right sort of crowd..

Can anyone recommend a Mac/web Gmail UI with exceptionally fast hotkey interactions? The Gmail web interface has slowed to the point of un-usability for me now.

Command line (Alpine, etc) would be fine, but my Gmail account is secured by work and has the required access control settings disabled.

Use the plain HTML interface (no JS) and it's very fast. The option to disable it is at the bottom. You can of course enable it any time.

Neomutt! If you want something nice and easy to get you up and running: https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/mutt-wizard

FWIW, I tried Superhuman for a month and it was exellent. Extremely fast and responsive shortcuts.

30 USD/month was a bit more than I can justify so I cancelled but I still wish I hadn't.

Not sure what you meant by 'secured by work' - you can still authorize 3rd party apps can't you? Is it even possible to block that?

That's an avenue I'm pursuing - have joined the waiting list and am waiting for someone to get back to me after a brief email interaction over the weekend.

Secured by work was a reference to one possible suggestion of using Alpine or similar, which requires app-specific passwords. And yes, it seems it is possible to block that!

I’m working on a native Mac email client for Gmail that uses the Gmail API and support Gmail-specific features like labels and categorized inboxes. If you’re able enable access for 3rd party apps, and interested in beta testing this, would love to have you sign up at https://mimestream.com
