Take Control Of Your Inbox With Mail Pilot [Product Review]

If you are anything like me, filtering through emails to find the most important ones and going back and reading the not-so important ones later is a real chore. It can be an endless struggle. I have setup different business and personal emails to help, but then I am still managing multiple email accounts. This got me on a search for an email client/app that could help me take control keep me…

Many of us feel overwhelmed and burnt out by email.  We have too much, more keeps coming in and we just don't know how we'll ever get on top of it.  

While there have been some noteworthy attempts to fix email (I'm a big fan of an app called Mailbox) none of them have yet tacked the underlying problem: we can't manage our inboxes fast enough to keep up with the constant flood of new email.  To fix email we have to somehow slow it down.  

So this is my suggestion (more like a plea) to the courageous developers trying to fix email: please add a pause button to your email clients that lets users temporarily stop both incoming and outgoing email.  

Going into pause mode would allow users to do everything they normally do in their email client: read, respond, archive and search emails.  However,  users would be able to work without the distraction of new email coming in or generating replies more quickly than they can handle.

Get the latest on iPhone/iPad technology: Ipads Advisor

Before Mailbox were a formally revealed project, and long before it offered to Dropbox in what’s said to have been around a $100 million offer, Josh Milas and Alex Obenauer required to Kickstarter to fund their personal reinvention of email. The group produced Mail Pilot, which promised ‘em ail reimagined,’ with the goal of turning email into a task-oriented to-do list to assist home owner truly get reminders done.

Here we’re over a year after the Kickstarter task officially closed its successful funding period, and Mail Aviator is lastly prepared to debut its iPhone and iPad app to the general public. However it’s a very different one than it was as originally conceived, which, depending upon exactly what backers were anticipating, might disappoint a few of them. Mail Aviator’s founders, nonetheless, believe the new model is better than their old, for backers and new clients alike.

Originally prepared as a subscription service that, like Mailbox, made use of third-party servers to process a user’s email, Mail Aviator took a late game reversal, announcing last week that it would be dropping the third-party server model as well as doing away with subscription costs. Now it’s a one-time acquisition for the app itself, and the app interacts straight with your very own mail server, without needing to path with a second destination. This provides rate and performance enhancements, reduces privacy issues, and keeps expenses down, the founders explained to me in an interview, and as someone who’s used both early and later on versions of the Mail Aviator beta, I can personally attest to the enhancements in basic performance.

‘Dropping the subscription was conversation that we’d had at least as soon as on a monthly basis because even prior to we went on to Kickstarter, since we did not understand whether home owner would want to pay that, and we did not think they’d be,’ Obenauer discussed in a meeting. ‘But it was essential for the server expenses and for carrying out a few of the advanced attributes.’

Since introducing in beta back in September, Obenauer stated that they’ve actually learned a lot more about exactly what’s possible utilizing simply IMAP from the neighborhood applications themselves, and they likewise learned that most of users were dead set against having a subscription for something like a mail client, as anticipated. Likewise, the privacy ramifications of using third-party servers to process mail messages made numerous individuals uncomfortable, even with proper encryption and protection in place.

The challenge then became revamping the Mail Aviator model to execute its advanced functions without using a third-party server. Those features involve primarily turning email into a more right away workable order of business, with a checkbox to mark reminders as full and send them to archive, the power set them for evaluation at a particular later date or simply a day to a few days away with a single swipe, and the ability to create lists from e-mails straight.

The app is universal, and retails for $14.99. It’s a bit high for an iOS title, however Obenauer stated that they’ve actually found it’s what their audience is ‘going to pay for an enhanced email experience.’ That it’s more of an efficiency app than a simple Gmail customer is exactly what helps validate the cost, Milas described, and it holds true that apps like Reminders and OmniFocus are right in that price variety.

Mail Pilot’s ditching of subscription fees suggests that backers who pledged a lot of money for extended service get cost-free copies of the numerous Mail Pilot apps for life, and the iOS variation is just the start. Milas states that a Mac variation is on the horizon next, and there are strategies for Windows and Android apps to follow down the roadway. Mail Pilot sustains any email provider with IMAP compatibility.

Mail apps are being obtained faster than they can be constructed, so I asked Obenauer and Milas whether they are in this for the long run or looking for a quick exit. They said they are best-positioned today to be able to build the product they desire alone, but anything’s possible.
