Reviewers largely praise Mimestream for being fast, stable, polished, and unusually well integrated with Gmail on macOS, with several saying it handles labels, aliases, categories, sync, and multiple Gmail accounts better than other mail apps. Ease of setup and a clean, intuitive interface also come up often. The main pushback is consistent: many dislike the subscription-only pricing and say they would prefer a one-time purchase, especially outside the US. A few also want missing features like IMAP support, scheduled sending, denser layouts, and easier light/dark mode switching.
