I'm still getting used to it so it's taking a bit, but I know I can't go back to regular outlook. I will continue at it until it becomes second nature.

Pros

Ability to organize my email and set reminders for emails I need to follow up on. I really like being a bit to set dates for follow up as I usually forget getting back to important emails.

Cons

It's time consuming until it becomes a habit. It's not a habit yet but it's slowly getting there and now I'm a bit stressed when I don't get the opportunity to clean my inbox.

Thank you so much for the perfect review, Sade! Try to remember NOT to clean your inbox, but to follow the Prioritize and Plan procedure each time you enter Outlook - so it will never get messy :-) Best regards, Michael Hoffman

great courses and good with reminder emails to remember all the features the software has built in. LeanMail team is helping you through the initial problems to adapt to a new way of working.

Pros

Oversight of my current and planned tasks. Easy to find emails when looking for. Easy process to always go through the emails, knowing what to prioritize.

Cons

not so efficient to use "conversation view" when wanting to delete several emails in a thread. Not possible to use lean for coming outlook versions?

Overall good. I'm happy with using LeanMail.

Pros

Possibility to create task in the future with a deadline in order to focus on the right things at the right time.

Cons

It slows down outlook from time to time and experienced some crash. Regularly outlook is blocking the add-on. Seems to create issues with the search functionality of outlook from the inbox.

Very sorry for the delayed response, Guillaume. I completely understand your frustration, but hopefully it has worked itself out. This rarely happens, and usually only when someone has moved tens of thousands of emails. Please write to me personally if the problem has not cleared up. Best regards, Michael

I have been using Leanmail for more than 12 years. Anyone who must process a significant volume of emails daily really needs to consider this tool to keep it all under control.

Pros

Helps organize email in a fashion to optimize productivity.

Cons

Doesn't work with Microsoft's latest version (because Microsoft's new "web based" version doesn't offer plug-in features the same as in the past.)

Overall when sorting out a few kinks and figuring out how to use LeanMail so that it behaves like I want it, it is a great product and one I highly recommend.

Pros

Very easy to use and getting into. LeanMail helps me to organize my emails and keeps my inbox clean. It has completely changed the way I use Outlook and keeps down my stress levels.

Cons

If you use the same subject when you email several different customers, it will set the response emails with all categories. I would like the ability to remove certain columns like "mentions" for example, because it is not optimized for smal laptop screens.

Thank you so much for your review of LeanMail, Andreas. It's a great pleasure serving you. I apologize for the features that you would like to change, but they are hard-wired into Outlook by Microsoft, and for that reason we can not change them. Best regards, Michael

Pros

Taking back control over my inbox - before I was losing important emails due to the sheer volume coming in. With the LeanMail system I can now quickly archive / delete emails that don't require an immediate response, and set priorities and commitment dates to the ones I do.

Cons

Hard to say really. Sometimes it glitches out and shows the emails repeated, but that goes when navigating to another folder and then back to the inbox, and to be fair it has only happened two or three times.

I do not know how I even managed before. I can not live without it now.

Pros

I like that I can have a clean view and an empty inbox. The absolute best part is that i can plan when to reply to an email or when I should take action on something in the future and not keep the email in my inbox. It just "pops up" when the due date arrives.

Cons

No cons. i like everything
