While the world has moved on to team chat apps and social networks, are you still struggling with prioritising email replies, following up on emails and unsubscribing from mailing lists? The good news is that there are amazing tools to manage emails. Here are some of the best apps and services you should explore:

Boomerang (for Gmail)

Boomerang for Gmail tracks messages you send, alerts you if a recipient doesn’t reply, and lets you schedule when to send an email you have drafted ahead of time. This add-on service for Gmail is great for business people who don’t need a full-scale email marketing tool, but do need help keeping track of messages they send.

Crystal (for Chrome)

Crystal, which is a browser plug-in, tells you about the person you’re emailing so you can change your tone to suit them. Crystal learns about your email recipient based on their online persona and then suggests phrases to use that will appeal to them. While it isn’t a foolproof method for writing better emails, it could help make inroads with new clients and colleagues.

Drag (for Gmail)

Here’s another email plug-in for when your inbox is your to-do list: Drag. It turns Gmail into a kanban board. Your emails become cards that you

can move around the board to keep track of their status. You can make columns for emails that you must reply to today, messages that are pending a response, and so forth.

eM Client (Windows only)

If you communicate in a few different languages but aren’t perfectly fluent in all of them, eM Client is right up your alley. This email client app for Windows includes language translation features. It’s also one of the better apps you’ll find for putting email, calendar, contacts, and tasks into one interface.

Front

Front is an email app for teams. It’s designed for groups of people who manage an inbox together, such as a small business where everyone answers emails sent to a generic company address. Front not only lets a group of people access the same inbox but can also delegate tasks.

Polymail (iOS, macOS, web)

Polymail is an email client app for sales teams. It has an option to connect to Salesforce so that you can pull in relevant information about the people you need to email. It also tracks mails, letting you know when someone opens a message you sent. Other team features include stats about how much time each team member spends reading mail, and who is most likely to get a response.

Mailbird (for Windows)

Mailbird is an email client app for Windows that lets you customise the look of your inbox. You can connect to multiple email accounts and streamline everything into one view. It can also integrate with popular business apps, too, such as Asana and Slack.
