Jhaveri says an iOS and iPadOS version of the app is planned for the future. Mimestream is free for a limited time while in beta and will eventually be a paid app distributed through the Mac App Store. Mimestream is a desktop email client that’s been built specifically with Gmail in mind though it’s only available on macOS for now. Jhaveri says Mimestream only makes direct connections to Gmail and does not use intermediary servers, adding that the app does not collect or sell users' emails. Mimestream's advantages over using the Gmail web interface include support for multiple Gmail accounts with a unified inbox, system-level notifications, system-level Dark Mode support, swipe gestures, tracking prevention, and more. Jhaveri plans to add more features over time, including Google Drive support, server-side filter configuration, and G Suite directory autocomplete. Mimestream uses the Gmail API rather than IMAP to support more Gmail-specific features, such as categorized inboxes, automatically synced aliases and signatures, full labels integration, and search operators. Jhaveri says the app is designed to be fast, lightweight, and use a minimal amount of disk space. It’s also promising, given that Mimestream is made by a former Apple-employed Mail. Mimestream combines the power of macOS with Gmails advanced features for a new kind of email client that lets you move through your email effortlessly. Outlook consumed 332MB of memory on my Mac, and Apple’s Mail used 145MB, Mimestream consumed around 80MB. Neil Jhaveri, a former Apple engineer who worked on the company's default Mail app, has introduced a new Gmail client for macOS.Īvailable in beta, Mimestream is a native app written in Swift and designed with AppKit and SwiftUI for a clean, stock appearance. I used an app called Sparrow a long time ago, which was a lot more pleasant to use than the old look Mail.app, but Mail.app catched up and only Mimestream convinced me to switch away from Apple’s own app again. Mimestream is much less demanding of your Mac’s resources than rival email apps, too.
