You can’t just stay away from email. It is sort of inevitable. For most of us, it could be work, studies, or simply a means to keep in touch with others. But the fact is that our lives are so intertwined with emails that hardly a day passes without us sending/reading at least an email. At times, it could get a bit overwhelming as well. But Mailbox app for iPhone helps you deal with your emails quickly and effectively. You can get Mailbox iPhone app for free from iTunes App Store.
Mailbox App Features
Mailbox app for iPhone is a completely redesigned inbox that makes email light, fast, and mobile-friendly. It implements the Inbox Zero concept pioneered by Merlin Mann. The thought behind this idea is that an inbox filled with emails indirectly increase stress levels and affects productivity. The proposed solution is to empty the inbox by processing your emails and converting them into appropriate actions.
That is, if there is an email conversation in your inbox that has long finished, archive it. If you’ve already viewed your boarding pass sent to you via email, print it out and archive the mail. By systematically acting on your emails clears the clutter significantly that you start to feel relieved in dealing with your daily email messages.
iPhone Mailbox app adapts some of these techniques to make things a lot easier for you. For example, make a quick swipe to move an email that you don’t need to act now. Before archiving it, you can choose when to view the mail again so that on that day, the app will again bring it up in your inbox. Mailbox checks your email from the cloud, and then delivers it to your phone securely. You can even get push notifications for new messages. You can also scan an entire conversation at once with chat-like organization. Mailbox for iPhone works only with Gmail. It is a bit of a downside as not all people use Gmail as their primary email. The app is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.
