The problem is that email is garbage tech. So any app that tries to provide you with email access has the cards stacked against it.

The built in mail app is somewhat slow to refresh and doesn't fetch new emails instantly, that's my main issue with it.

If you use Gmail, the default Mail app can not get data pushed to it for whatever reason, probably Google wanting you to use their app. So you can only have the phone fetch for new mail in 15 minute, 30 minute, or one hour intervals. If you're waiting on an email, for example, you'll have to continually open the app and refresh it. But then the Gmail app has been completely broken for quite some time. It was perfectly fine before it turned into a choppy mess.

I think the default email app not getting push notifications for Gmail is a feature, and I'm not usually one of those posters ITT who bases their product preferences on what the current Apple Design is. I do think that it is plausible that this could be Google forcing the lack of push notifications on Apple, but don't really know for sure. silence_kit fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Jan 13, 2022 |

I use Spark because it's pretty good about figuring out which emails I actually need to be notified about, which is, frankly, not many. Inbox was similar, but Google got rid of that. Mail.app just shits notifications for every shipping email and promotional whatever, and while I may want those emails, I never need to be notified about it.

Google not letting stock mail app get push is absolutely a google decision. You used to be able to get push until Google made their iOS gmail app, way back when, and they changed it to push users toward their app/ads.

Wait, so it's just the Stock mail app not being able to get push? I thought it was only the Gmail.app that could get it. But it's Spark can also get push, then that's what I'm moving to. And that is absolutely a dick move by Google.

You can absolutely get get push notifications on Gmail. The issue is you'd need an intermediate server sitting between your phone and Gmail constantly pinging it for updates and then using the built in iOS notification system to pass along the info to you. The issue is you'd need to trust that intermediate server to not skim your data.

Constantly looking for the perfect mail app is a project I’ve never understood. Maybe I’m an ignorant who miss out on something magical, but I don’t understand what’s wrong with Gmail or Outlook. I’d argue that you’ll never end up satisfied if you’re always looking for new apps and new features, and that most people will be better off if they choose an app and stick with it (despite missing one or two features that might be nice to have). It’s quite possible that I’m wrong but I don’t think so.

The Gmail app is frustrating and baffling for the simple fact that scrolling though your email list is a nice smooth 120fps but as soon as you open an email it chugs down to 30 fps for some unknown reason. It really makes no sense.

For email, I’ve found that the only thing that works PERFECTLY is Fastmail accounts used via mail.app It is the only service where the push works perfectly, not just in putting a badge on the app when you get a new email, but also in background-refreshing the Inbox so it’s up to date when you open it. Like, using say Spark with mail.app, it’ll push notifications fine, but when I actually open the app, there’s a brief delay while it updates the view from whatever it was last I opened it. I find that incredibly annoying. Gmail.app refreshes fine, but the app looks like poo poo on iOS and scrolling is weird and Gmail as a service has lost its way entirely the last few years (seriously, when did their spam detection go to hell? It still catches the obvious stuff right, but man does it love to false-positive on emails from addys that are in my contacts and that I’ve already marked Not Spam like dozens of times over the years already).

Are there any deals around on AirPods? Mine are almost dead after almost three years I think. I’d probably get the regular ones because I sometimes need to jam them in my pocket while I’m at work and they seem more durable.

MrBond posted:AFAIK the only services that get push email for apple mail are iCloud, Yahoo, and fastmail, and then anything that uses Exchange (hotmail/outlook included). The weird thing is that iCloud itself works shittily with mail.app in terms of notifications and folder updates. The only one that works _perfectly_ is Fastmail w/mail.app, and I’ve tested this on many Apple devices and iOS versions over the years. It’s really pretty weird. Now that iCloud supports using one’s own domain for email, I’d love to switch to it and drop one more subscription service, but I did a test run and I can read an email on my desktop and see the unread badge for that email not clear on my phone until I actually open mail.app on the phone as well. The push backend just… works for poo poo with iCloud itself. Somehow. Fastmail nailed it.

Something this bums me out: when a text arrives and I have to swipe it down now to see it in full, it always takes like a half-second too long for it to load. You’d think with the super processors they have these days they’d prioritize making notifications a butter-smooth kinda thing.

Anyone else having an issue in 15.2 where a lower power mode window in landscape mode will be half off the screen? Only option I had was accept low power mode or turn off the screen for a second and then swipe the app away (landscape only) before the notification comes back.

It’ll take a second or two too long too load. Not a huge deal usually but if you’re trying to take a quick shot it’s annoying.
