Postbox provides a powerful email solution for independent consultants, small and medium-sized businesses, large enterprises, and educational institutions.
Designed for businesses of all types and sizes, it is a cloud-based email marketing solution that assists with creating custom professional email addresses, sending bulk emails, and more.
I have a bunch of emails and Postbox helps me keep everything organized. I love the tags/labels panel and the filters work like a charm.
The feature I miss the most is the missing taskbar badge for unread mails under Windows.
LOVED the flexibility and slick design and powerful features. It feels really modular and that it will accommodate my particular workflow.
Then, to make things worse, my employer blocked IMAP on its Outlook accounts, so I cannot use Postbox at all any longer for my work email account.
I'm an inbox zero kinda a person, and I can power through my entire inbox without every touching a mouse/trackpad. The integrations with google are great, and the customizability is superb.
One is that when I look at my sent emails, there are many missing. When I look at the files in gmail itself they're all there.
The best feature is the ability to assign topics and create smart folder which makes controling you emails a breeze. For someone who receives many emails a day this is a godsend.
For some reason, Postbox fails to see it. Is there anyone at Postbox, to whom I've paid for the app, to contact about this.
I have great options to take good experiences with Gmail. We created organisational email addresses via Gmail and It's really helpful for our organisational works.
I dislike how hard it is to find my spam folder - I also dislike how many emerald end up in my spam folder.
I like this platform much better than Microsoft Outlook; this software's integration with the multiple offerings of Google allow for great ease of use and admin implementation.
The only con I have is that at times emails can get lost or put in the spam folder and they shouldn't have been. So you have to go look for the email which can take time out of your busy day.
I also love that Gmail is liked to my google classroom because I get an email when a student turns in work and it helps me to be more time-efficient with grading.
Logging in and out can be a bit painfully trouble Some and the delays can be frustrating depends I assume on your connection speed but not sure.
Great email platform as you can categorize emails into folders so it is easier to keep you email clean and organized. The follow up prompt is great as well when you receive so many emails in a day.
There is nothing that I really don't like about Gmail specifically. I hate receiving emails in my Spam folder but that is not a Gmail problem.
Kayla B.: My name's Kayla. I'm a communication and speech coach and a solopreneur, and I give Gmail a rating of five out of five. Before using Gmail, I used Yahoo Mail, which was a much messier experience, from a business perspective. And I had a lot of issues with spam, people not receiving my messages, and my business emails weren't perceived or taken as seriously, which is why I made this shift eventually over to Gmail. Gmail was super easy to categorize and label different sections of groups that I have to communicate with. I have a lot of recurring coaching clients that go into specific tabs or labels, so it's very easy to communicate with them very quickly and efficiently. I also find just the user-friendliness of Gmail is much, much easier, and it's very neat. I was very distracted by Yahoo Mail visually, with a lot of the things that would pop up on the screen. And with Gmail, I never get distracted or off-focus. Gmail was very easy to get started with, but it probably wasn't until a couple of years after using Gmail that I realized there were a lot more settings that I could take advantage of. So, after playing a little bit more with some more advanced settings, I was able to take a lot more advantage of more services that Gmail offers. I would recommend watching a couple of YouTube videos about the best recommendations you could do with Gmail for your business and see some of the other hacks that other entrepreneurs have used to make their Gmail much more organized and to create a very professional look within their emails, especially within their signatures. That was very helpful for me.
