Apple Mail alternative
An Apple Mail alternative for many inboxes
Apple Mail comes with every Mac, costs nothing, and its Mail Privacy Protection hides your IP address from senders. For most people it's a good choice. Bloop.email is for people who want each inbox on its own keystroke, new mail dropping down from the notch, and translation built into the reader.
