Mailbox - highly unusual e-mail client. He demands to radically change their attitude towards the correspondence, to tinker with the settings of Gmail and even experience a bit of stress. But it could be your little revelation, as was for me.
Application only yesterday appeared in the App Store, but today the phenomenon of Mailbox known to many regulars Network. The thing is that access to free e-mail client is in a queue in which the review date is 569,132 people . And turn moves sooo slow. But we were fortunate to be among the first to get a coveted key, test the program and provide you a thorough report.
Important note. Mailbox is hardly interested in those for whom the mail is a repository of spam, useless mailings, notices or invoices from online shopping. But that those users who the mail is working , it can be very useful. First of all, because it will teach more intelligently used.
"Inbox" - not a warehouse
Let's start with the "basics." Most of us use the "Inbox" to store all received mail, completely ignoring (often unknowingly) a designated directory "All Mail." As a result - the folder where you want the answer to be processed and the letter contains thousands of records. Allocate the same unprocessed mail reaches the stars, marking each "Unread" or worse - labels. And they are in fact very different goals!
If the story above about you, then first add a box Mailbox «rejoice" bardzhikom 1000 + (for the attention of letters) and the knowledge that the customer is crazy =) So start discovering Mailbox highly recommend a thoughtful dialogue with obuchalovkoy and then and visit the section Help.
Mail to Mailbox
In the end, you will understand the philosophy of the ordinary customer. And it is very simple: the letters are tasks that need to be divided by priorities and systematically executed. Tab «Mailbox» accumulates mail from the app drawer added to Gmail (maximum 5), it is desirable to process as soon as possible. Without going into the body of the letter, you can send it to the Archive - it's done, the folder Later - wait for later, throw in one of the lists, or throw it in the Trash. Of «Mailbox» You can also view the contents of sections Later and Archive, simply select the appropriate item in the panel. This approach will keep the mail in perfect order, spending a dreary affair minimum of effort. And, most importantly, all the really important messages are always on hand - enough to hide them in the appropriate lists (mine is Finance and To Write).
Postponed until later letters
Shelving system messages for later realized not only comfortable, but also beautiful. A pop-up window with a 3x3 grid to quickly defer consideration of the letter for a few hours to move it to the evening, tomorrow, this week or next, sledeyuschy month or ever. If necessary, you can specify the exact date. Selected time affects the position in the list «Archive». Of deferred letters Mailbox report notifications, time which can be set in the settings.
Conversation
One of the strengths of the Mailbox is called comfort letters. Letters together in a chain, of which the main window cleaning out all unnecessary. In this view, a dialogue of the correspondence of social networks. But it is worth tapnut the letter, and a window with the full list of required attributes: theme, the sender and the addressee, the time and date of dispatch, the status (read or not), especially a star to mark important messages. At the bottom of the screen always has a close button, Reply, Reply All, and Forward.
New letter
Editor writing a new message, at first glance, too minimalist, because the fields are only available target, subject and text of the letter. But unimportant option copies BCC, and to select the account to send easily available, just click on the little arrow in the corner of the editor. If necessary, can be attached to the letter image. Unfortunately, they only go as in the original, without the possibility to reduce the resolution. There is also less Editor'll take signature can not be corrected, but it is in fact common to all accounts.
What else?
In Mailbox built very decent search quickly monitoryaschy all available correspondence. Settings in the program a little bit, but they cover the most important aspects of mailer: Account names are assigned, the total signature, you can choose the master account, adjust sync settings messages, notifications and behavior bardzhika on the icon (how many messages to be processed, or "1" for new messages ).
Pitfalls
It would not have wanted to shout: «Mailbox is perfect, for me there is no other address!", The program is still not without its drawbacks. One of them might scare off experienced users Gmail - become inaccessible automatic filters mail service, markers, and custom labels (unless they are moved to a folder [Mailbox]). In addition, there were some glitches and crashes the application. During active testing Mailbox flew 10 times, hung on archiving large volume of mail (2000 letters), has repeatedly refused to show the full text of some letters. It seems that this is not the version 1.0.0, and one of the later beta. In addition, a couple of times a delay in push-notifications, but this may be the merit of my broken internet. Not to say that it is impossible to use the Mailbox or just uncomfortable, but to some instability applications need to be prepared.
****
Despite the above shortcomings, Mailbox - very cool email client. First of all, because it really speeds up the processing of mail, making it clear and easy process. The idea with the postponement of letters on then brilliant - because often important letter does not require an immediate answer, and forget about it does not. And the interface implementation Mailbox commendable, it is intuitive, simple and beautiful.
Demonstrated Mailbox principle for me was a revelation. I've been looking for how to bring email in order to make it well-oiled tool when all the right hand. As it turned out, the answer was very simple and basic capabilities in hiding in Gmail. C Mailbox everything fell into place.
Verdict: slightly modified and more stable version of the Mailbox will be the most successful solution for Mail on iPhone.
The picture above - my reward for all mail processing. And it really is a genuine solution - take a beautiful picture with Instagram and place it in the form of a logo application. Rewards (and, of course, always different) can be shared in Twitter, Facebook, or view the original image in Instagram.
