Is the primary issue that the spam filter seems too aggressive? If so, you can basically turn off the spam filter entirely with a (super broad) filter that tells all emails to "never send to spam." You'd then have to build back up using your own filters, but there are a few tricks that might make it easier.

This seems like a bit of an anti-pattern, but hey 😉 I might give this a go!
As far as I've been able to tell, there are no good email clients; it's mostly a matter of finding what you're willing to put up with. I've tried several.
Thanks for this! The original reason for switching from whatever I had before to Inbox was for the snoozing feature. Looks as thought N1 has this as well. I used N1 a while back, but it was in early development and not 100% stable.

Same here. :)
I use Mozilla Thunderbird. I particulary like the fast search bar.
