AI email clients.
An AI email client is a complete email app with the intelligence built into the core: it reads and sorts your inbox before you open it, instead of adding a button to the one you already have. This is the plain guide to the category, written for calm rather than hype: what an AI email client actually is, how it differs from an AI email assistant, whether it is safe for confidential client data, what it costs, how to switch to one without a migration, and how the main options compare. It is aimed at the owner or small team of a professional-services firm (someone whose problem is not typing speed but the daily volume of mail), so each guide leads with the real question you would type, and answers it straight.
