I love Gmail and all of the Google Apps but I hated having to always go into my web browser to check email and my calendar. I <3 Gmail but I hate using it in my browser Of the 6 emails I manage, 5 of them are hosted through Google, which, in my opinion is the best email platform available on account for its extensive search features, labels, and advanced integration of the Google Calendar, Google Drive and more.

I also have 6+ email address I manage that are personal, professional, and some that I check on behalf of clients. Our company deals with half a dozen clients on any given day and that can mean a whole lot of emails to sort through. I use email for selling our digital services, communicating with current and potential clients, setting up meetings, sending proposals, receiving files and photos, and more.

So I set out to find my perfect email platform to solve the problems I was having.Ĭhecking, reading and responding to email is a constant throughout my workday (and non-workdays too!). He uses Thunderbird and is pretty happy with it so it was not his problem, it was mine. All the folders were confusing and I felt like I kept “losing” important emails. He reminded me that email is one of those things you have to take into your own hands to find what works best for your needs. I was complaining to Ben the other day about how unhappy I was with with Apple Mail because I was not able to search and find emails easily among all the different inboxes that I had going there and the spam filter was not as good.
