You can pin important emails to the top of your inbox with a swipe. You also can swipe emails to snooze them for another day. Snoozed messages disappear from the inbox temporarily, and you can customize the snooze option to shelve emails for the weekend, next week, or until a particular date.

Search for files and links inside the emails using phrases like file from Joe sent yesterday. If you use the same search term often, you can save it or create a smart folder to locate emails that trigger your search term automatically.
Spark for Teams
No other email app works as well for teams as Spark, which allows you to create, discuss, and share emails with your colleagues.

Set a Reminder to notify you at a specific date and time if you haven't received a reply from an email you sent. Send it and forget it, until Spark reminds you that you haven't heard back. That's especially useful if you tend not to follow up when you should.

Here's a feature you won't find in most email interfaces: Spark automatically identifies and sets up email signatures for you. When you compose a message, you can flip through all those signatures just by swiping.

Email Account Support
If you set up more than one email account in Spark, your inbox collects messages from all accounts. Like so much in Spark, this setting is easily configurable, and you can separate categories by account, for example, or exclude certain messages from particular accounts.

Adding the most popular email services including iCloud Mail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Outlook.com is easy. Spark supports manual IMAP and Microsoft Exchange setup as well; however, Spark doesn't support POP email. Spark makes setting up alias addresses easy so that you can use multiple email addresses with one account.

You cannot specify different sender names or outgoing SMTP servers for aliases, though. However you set up the many options and functions that Spark offers, the app automatically syncs your choices across all the iCloud devices you use.
