Gmail also supports extensions to add extra functions that users have added on to the service over the years. Inbox takes standard Gmail and adds some extra features that you either love or hate. These include snoozing email, smart mailboxes grouping of themes like purchases, newsletters, promos etc and adding tasks from within mail. There are mobile apps as well as a web client that you can use. ![]() Boxy (Mac)īoxy is a way to run multiple email accounts within an inbox with the native Mac interface. If you like Inbox, but want a native Mac desktop client with keyboard shortcuts and multiple accounts, Boxy could be for you. Microsoft recently went on a spree of mobile application acquiring. Two of these apps were Accompli (a great third party email client) and Sunrise (a fantastic third party calendar application). Shortly afterwards Accompli became Outlook, bringing the great features of Accompli (swipe gestures, email snoozing, built in calendar), but now under official Microsoft branding. Now the Sunrise team are also part of Outlook, meaning one of the best calendars (with task integration and a special keyboard to organize events) is going to become better integrated. There are also the classic desktop clients from Microsoft on both Windows and Mac. However, it is worth noting that features like email snoozing do not yet sync from your mobile to desktop (unlike a tool like the now gone Mailbox). The desktop client will support exchange fantastically, has integrated tasks and calendar as well and comes along with Office 365 (so you have your other Microsoft products to). Inky supports Exchange, Google apps and IMAP severs (covering most basses). Inky also works on the major desktop and mobile clients with Windows, Mac, Android and iOS support. Inky uses it’s own severs to interface with your mail and allow you to do some pretty clever stuff across your devices. These include smart filtering (like Google inbox, but you can customize them more), high powered search and organizing by importance. However, to run these features, there is a $5 a month subscription. It makes sense, they are running their own servers to provide these features and they need some method to cover those running cost. #UNIBOX EMAIL REVIEW MAC#Īirmail 2.5 (Mac, iOS)Īirmail is a Mac app with a new iPhone app. It has a great look and design with some powerful features underneath. I just like to read my email and write, and Unibox does a great job of it.These include markdown editing, adding to your favorite task management tool, keyboard shortcuts and more. Mail Pilot seems aimed more at people who like to organise their email (the reminders system, completion checks, sorting). If you don't mind switching to a people-centric interface, I'd recommend Unibox. ![]() It's very cleverly designed to show and hide information as you navigate, without showing too much. Unibox seems to place the information you are looking for right where you expect it (for example, dates fade in and attach to the scrollbar as you swipe through your emails, changing as you scroll). And despite completely rethinking my inbox I've found it straightforward to use. Unibox did not make much effort to teach me. Initially the "New Message" button simply did not work until I restarted the app. It also makes a very strong effort to educate me (popups and explanations are attached to everything, intro tutorials and videos) but I still found it a little confusing to navigate. Mail Pilot feels a little less polished and less smooth. ![]() Being able to see all the attachments to and from a particular person is very nice. It has a way of minimising the complexity of my inboxes. I purchased Mail Pilot and Unibox because of this article - with the intent for one of them to replace Sparrow (which is amazing, but there are bugs that will never be fixed).
