I want a UI that allows me to effortlessly triage my emails. I want search and filtering to be fast and well thought through. Just ticking off items in a feature matrix leaves a lot out of the picture.
I don't know, honestly. I don't use folders. Either my email is in my inbox, it's archived, or it's deleted/junked. Most of my email doesn't stay in my inbox for very long.
I have exactly the same workflow, and this is why I just use neomutt on my desktop and the standard mail.app on my phone. Searching via notmuch normally finds anything I'm looking for.

My email needs to do only a handful of things:
- let me archive things
- let me search my email
- let me do email-y things (reply, forward, reply all, etc.)
- display HTML and plain text email in a way that doesn't hurt my eyes
- get out of my way
I don't need or want advanced categorization, animated flourishes, or even folders. I use Spark as my email client because it works just fine.
Spark is toying with charging, which I think is fine. If it's not too much, I'll pay.
This Big Mail seems too feature-laden for my tastes.
Enumerating features misses much of the nuance.

Search is essential, no question.
But I need sort even more. And it's frustrating the inability for "modern" email clients to do away with it. Gmail is the culprit.
Does Spark allow you to sort your folders?
