To help you reach inbox zero, 14 of the best email applications

 


(Pocket-lint) - Email address. Uh. Ugh. Just seeing the word will, like nothing else, bring a wave of stress upon us.

It wastes time, clutters both professional and personal lives, and organization is difficult. Ok, almost. Several new email applications have sprung up over the past few years, aiming to help you find some inner zen.

Zen comes in the form of inbox zero, a philosophy of email management aimed at keeping your inbox empty at all times. Of course, that's a lofty target, but if it's anything you're interested in, check out the following apps. We have rounded up the best email solutions worth trying for Android and iOS.

Bear in mind that not all of these apps are all about inbox zero, but they have email-clearing functionality, and they are all well-designed, reliable, and make the job of dealing with email a little more tolerable. But just slightly.

Best inbox-zero email apps


Dispatch


Dispatch is considered one of the niftiest iPhone email applications, mainly because it supports apps from third parties. For example, you can archive important Evernote mails or save links with Pocket to read later. Email aliases are also provided by the software. A few of the downsides include no support for email or native push based on POP/Exchange.

Boxer


In order to encourage you to swipe away emails until you hit inbox zero, Boxer is an email, calendar, and contacts app designed around gestures. Among many other amazing things, it also includes to-do lists, push alerts, and a dashboard for significant objects. All major email providers, including Gmail and iCloud, are also sponsored (except for POP3-based email).

TypeApp Mail


TypeApp Mail supports all major email providers and more particularly, POP3 accounts, like some of the other apps on this list. It provides a seamless experience with accounts, threaded discussions, smart push alerts, and landscape and portrait views.

Spike


Spike isn't a typical client for emails. It transforms messages or interactions into your emails, kind of like you would see in a messaging app. It supports accounts for Google, Yahoo, AOL, and iCloud, and has native push alerts, groups, and calls. It provides a dark mode as well.

Triage


Triage is not a typical email client - close to Spike. For example, there are no directories.

It literally shows as a stack of cards your addresses, and you swipe a mail card to either archive it or preserve it. Only tap on the card to show more options if you need to respond or forward a message. Yahoo, iCloud, and other emails dependent on IMAP are supported by Triage.

Newton Mail


    Newton Mail supports Gmail, Exchange, Outlook, iCloud, Google Applications, and any IMAP account as a single email client. It also integrates with third-party applications, such as Evernote and Trello, and via something it calls cards, it supports these services. It allows you to just drop an email, like Todoist, into another app. For power-email users, it's a perfect option. It does however, require a $49.99 per year subscription.

    Gmail


    For those of you connected to Google services, Gmail is fine. It allows you to switch between accounts or view all of them at once, see profile photos as part of threaded conversations, react directly from inside the app to Google Calendar invites, and organize through archiving, marking, starring, and more.

    Rival email providers including Yahoo and Outlook are also supported by the Android version.

    Outlook


    Outlook is a next-generation app for Android and iOS. Supporting all the common email services, it supports Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Outlook.com, iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and IMAP accounts. It has customizable quick-swipe email archiving and scheduling options, splits your inbox into two parts ("Focused" and Other"), and enables you to filter stuff such as flagged or unread emails.

    It also combines your calendars and files from services such as Google Calendar, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.

    Spark


    Consider Spark by Readdle if you like the inbox zero idea, as well as customisable, quick swiping inputs. It provides short and long swipes (both left and right), and they can be customized absolutely. For example, you can swipe short to the right to archive a post, or swipe long to the right to delete. Spark also includes badges, so that you can see a number for your whole inbox, rather than only unread messages.


    Spark has a dedicated version for Apple Watch as well.

    MyMail




      MyMail is well-designed and known for its ability to draw pictures and logos for emails automatically. So on an iPhone, you'll never see a dot for Maggie with a white 'M' or whatever. MyMail also makes switching between accounts simple. We just wanted to swipe-to-archive it.

      Yeah, and it doesn't look as clutter-free as the Android version. Gmail, Hotmail, Live, Outlook, Yahoo, MSN, iCloud and AOL and more are sponsored by MyMail.

      AquaMail



          Thanks to colour-coded labels and the ability to collapse all files within one email account, Aqua Mail makes inboxes and folders easy to navigate. The app also supports swipe gestures and includes action buttons that are easy to find, simplifying tasks such as replying, forwarding, and deleting emails. We also like that formatted text is supported, so you can underline, bold, italics, and text in colour.

          Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, FastMail, iCloud, GMX, AOL and so on are sponsored by Aqua Mail.


          Email Exchange + by MailWise


          A seamless inbox with the ability to sort your messages by reading, unread, starred, unstarred features Email Sharing + by MailWise. The ability to display your emails in a threaded view also has strong swipe motions, so that your emails mimic something similar to text messaging. It's a genius trait. Exchange, Outlook, Office 365, Hotmail, Gmail, Google apps, Yahoo, AOL, etc are supported.

          ProtonMail




          For users who want a completely safe and stable email application, ProtonMail is fine. Created by CERN students, ProtonMail provides end-to-end encryption, making it impossible for anyone to access your emails except you and the other person with whom you are emailing. You can also set a timer so that at a certain point after you send them, the emails you are sending would self-destruct.

          The downside to that protection is that a new ProtonMail specific email address is needed for the application, but ProtonMail is the best choice for you if you're concerned about security and don't mind setting up forwarding on your existing accounts.

          Blue Mail



            Blue Mail is a standard email programme that works with Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, iCloud and Office 365 and offers auto setup support for IMAP and POP3 + Exchange. It enables users to connect an infinite number of accounts, making it ideal for those who juggle in multiple accounts with personal, school and work emails.

            It also has nifty features, such as a dark mode option, a toggle switch for people that allows you to easily delete emails from your inbox, and the ability to easily locate any email from a friend by simply clicking on their avatar.

                  Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

                  Image
                  The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

                  Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

                  Image
                    (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
