MailBird
Mailbird is a simple, yet powerful desktop email client that helps you manage multiple email accounts. It allows you to easily integrate Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Office 365, and other online services, like your social media, and favorite productivity applications all in one place. Whether you are a freelance managing multiple work accounts or a small business owner juggling campaign emails, social media, and customer inquiries. Mailbird helps you stay on top of your inbox without missing a beat.
Anyone that has Windows PC, has more than one email address. The customers who have reported great success with the tool, have been small business owners, solopreneurs, freelancers, and Marcomms!
Like many reviewers said the program is beautiful, colorful, and has a nice video game feel. The icons are easy to understand and work quickly within the program.
A small light email client that is a pleasure to work with. Works fast, has nice notifications and cute sounds.
I have loved this program from the first time I installed it. Setup is easy, account setup wizard is a great and easy walkthrough, and it handles IMAP accounts with ease.
One of the best mail clients for Windows at its price point with awesome functionality and interface.
Their extremely poor customer service, or lack there of.
I understand how frustrating this is not to be able to use your calendar within Mailbird, and I would like to apologise for all the trouble and inconvenience caused.
A waste of many man hours, I am exhausted trying to debug, write mail bird tickets , running outlook so I have access to contacts and trying to keep up with my daily workflow.
As with most modern email clients, configuring Mailbird is extremely easy and user-friendly. Long gone are the days when you’d have to memorize all the various server settings for your individual email accounts, and instead, you simply have to provide your name and email address.
Mailbird claims to have a customizable interface, but as you can see above, it’s a bit limited in terms of options. I may be a bit biased due to my experience with Adobe’s customizable interfaces, where virtually every element of the UI can be adjusted, scaled, or moved. I’d love to be able to do the same with my email client, but none of those I’ve ever tried has offered the option.
Once you’ve completed the initial setup process, you’ll get access to a few additional customization options. In addition to theme colors, you can also choose between two Dark Mode options, which are a welcome relief for tired eyes who are sick of staring at bright white inboxes for hours on end.
Mailbird’s inbox layouts are simple and effective, allowing you quick navigation through any and all accounts that you’ve added. Once you add multiple accounts, you’ll also gain access to a Unified Inbox that brings all your emails from every account into a central location.
For most casual usage, Mailbird is a great way to centralize a number of different accounts into one simple working space. The shortcuts within the app are the same as those found in Gmail, which makes for a very smooth transition for existing users. A wide number of language dictionaries are included for composing messages, and the app itself is available in almost as many.
The latest version of Mailbird has finally included a much-desired feature: the ability to schedule emails for sending at a later time. If you know your colleagues are busy and don’t want to send an email at a time when it may get lost in their inbox, you can schedule for a later time.
Mailbird developers have also included a unique tool that I haven’t run into before: a speed reader feature. A quick keyboard shortcut enables the feature, and the email you’re reading is broken down into single words that flash in place. Most of my emails are quite short, so I don’t get much value from speed-reading them, but if you have a contact who frequently writes you walls of text, you may find a way to scale them quickly.
You’re presented with a long list of potential integrations, from the new ChatGPT to the popular Google services to WeChat, Slack, Asana, Facebook, Dropbox, Wunderlist, and more. I’m not entirely sure if it’s really a good idea for productivity to have access to your social media right within your email client, but I suppose anyone who works with social platforms professionally could make a case for it.
Verdict
Mailbird, incubated and nurtured by Livit, is a great and safe email client for heavy email users who want to consolidate their various accounts into a single place for easy access. The pricing is reasonable thanks to a pay-once option, although I wish that the developers were adding new features a bit more regularly to justify the subscription plan option.
