Anyone Using BlueMail for Windows? good WLM replacement?
To my surprise a search of the Forum found no hits for BlueMail at all, I use it on my Android Phone, and think I might finally need a replacement for WLM ( to my chagrin ) as it is not handling newer HTML Mails well eg links to Google Drive Folders etc, but wonder if it is any better than Win10 Mail for example ?
Desktop | BlueMail App

BlueMail Report - Windows 10 App Review
Pros
1. MagicSync worked Well - moved Phone Accounts to Desktop only needed PW for each to load.
2. Has potential , but needs work to be a "real" Email Client, instead of a "liteweight Email Client" (App)
Cons
1. *Appears to be a Port of a Mobile App as it is lacking in many areas unfortunately ( for me at least )
2. Biggest Issue for me : I can't resize App or even Columns properly - it takes over 50% of my 32" screen if left open
( my preference and I have several screens ). ( Phone App ported to Win 10 App ? )
3. Can't change Text Color in Replies ( cos it was a phone app?) ..... had an email today with a black background,
so I couldn't use the Reply To option to reply as I couldn't see the Text ( WLM let me make text white )
4. No control of Columns displayed or their sizes either ie Attachments , Date, Sender etc.
5. Can't choose own Font ( System only? ) can change font size and family? *Font size does Not effect App Size
6. No way to disable Contact's Profile Pictures apparently ( missed? ) - who needs pics? yuk ! :)
7. Unlike the WLM Calender which is in a Pane on the Right for quick views/checks you have to switch to BlueMail's dedicated Calendar View.
----- It does work with your Calendars unlike WLM these days though, eg Win 10 , Gmail, Outlook .ics etc
8. Not Syncing some Accounts properly (immediately) after Emails are moved to Storage Folders eg in WLM,
seems to if you delete a Email eg in WLM though, it does that fairly quickly matching it.
9. Reply Window , should just takeover the Pane, Messages are listed in, or be a seperate launched resizable Reply Window,
currently only have two popup choices, regular or large attached at bottom right, and large isn't that large, and stays "attached" to bottom right
- it's my computer let me have control of it ! it not an TS Chat window ( which I also hate )
10. Seem to have lost use of the Hamburger Icon top left ( 3 lines ) can not access different Accounts etc.
11. I don't care about "Smart Send" or "Later" ...let me disable it ...totally.....
12. Hopefully I don't have to Re-Authenticate each account every time the App updates like on my Phone
