The best Gmail client?

Hi,


I've been using a Macbook pro for 12 months and never really liked the native Apple mail app for Gmail. I've ended up using Outlook, but it disconnects all the time. Anyway, I was hoping I could get some recommendations for a good quality Gmail client.


Thanks 🙂

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Airmail is good, but if you tell us what you don't like about Mail or what you would like, then it would be easier to point you in a direction.

Thanks for the reply. I had trouble with Apple Mail/Gmail randomly telling me the passwords were incorrect and I would have liked the ability to not automatically download images and connect to ad servers. There were more niggles at the time, but I can't think what they all were as it was a year ago when I tried it.


Neat, easy to use interface, lots of customiseable options but with rock solid reliability is what I'm after.


I was kind of hoping there would be a Google Gmail app for mac by now!


Thanks.

This is always a risk as services and apps go offline/come back online. I see that sometimes, but only rarely.


and I would have liked the ability to not automatically download images and connect to ad servers.


Are you dealing with HTML email? I just set Mail to ignore that and present it as text.
