We really do live in a web technologies hell scape. Even modern Qt apps include javascript code with an added startup time cost.

On MacOS the RAM usage is much better than for Apple's mail app.

Not for me. Apple Mail used 155 MB RAM for all processes with 3 Accounts connected. Mailspring used 366 MB for all processes with only one of the 3 Accounts connected. The Mailspring Helper (GPU) alone uses 130 MB RAM …

Both had the same mail opened.

I'm using macOS 14.7.3, not 15. Don't know about Apple Mail in macOS 15.

I have a lot of old emails. That might be a factor.

At the very least it is quick and easy to try it out and see how it works for anyone else (I am interested in feedback from anyone else who has done a comparison).

It's worth noting that the actual sync engine is C++. https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring-Sync

Mimestream is a fantastic native app. Mac only though: https://mimestream.com/

That’s not a mail client, it’s a GMail client

…oh. Shame, that.
