Terry Blanchard, head of Mail development at Apple leaves the company to go to work directly to the Mail competition, in Readdle, with the Spark mail client. In this case, we are sure that Blanchard's decision has been considered, since he had been at Apple for many years and we imagine the change will be for the better. In this case, users who tend to be a bit more critical of Apple's Mail application will also be excited to see that the address of Apple's official email client may make a change in the coming years now that Blanchard is not in charge, but This is something that we will see as time goes by.
It is true that the improvements implemented in Mail both in macOS and in the version for iOS are really scarce, and that is why we have so many alternatives in the form of third-party applications. In this case, the departure of the development manager is not good news, but we are sure that it could be a breath of fresh air for the application in the future. For now Blanchard leaves the company ready to improve an email client that we have available and totally free on macOS and iOS and leaving his space in Apple for someone to replace him. Since Apple have not made any statement about the person who will be in charge of directing the Mail development team from now on., but surely we will have news soon.
Mail can have good things or bad things, but I already tell you that personally I have been using this application forever and although I have sometimes tried other email clients on both iOS and macOS, I always end up returning to Mail. I understand that for a more professional use Mail may be short on features, but I don't need more.
