@t55 Thank you so much for the hunting!

Mailbutler makes Apple Mail usable! It's impossible for me to imagine what life was like pre-Mailbutler. Now adding support for Gmail completes the product for me (Although I only occasionally use Gmail to send/receive emails). Send later is a great feature when you want to write a bunch of emails on Sunday night but don't want to look like a creepy stalker. You just set it to send at 7:45 on Monday morning. ;-) The ability to unsend a message, a 10 second delay after you hit 'send,' has proved invaluable for me. Sure, we've had that feature for years on Gmail but not on Apple Mail which is the client I prefer to manage my Gmail and other email accounts from. Sometimes you don't know if you have the correct email address. It's why tracking is a such a key feature. You know when your email was opened. How about that email that requires action but you can't get to it right away. Snooze it for an hour or two and then it's back on top of your email feed. Congrats on Mailbutler 2.0!

@stephenchip Thank you so much for the support! 🙏

I use and love Mixmax, which I think does everything listed for Mailbutler, and thensome. Any counterpoint?
Simone Wong
@cozysd Hi Lee! It will really depend on what kind of features you're looking for. We find Mixmax to be tailored for sales-focused uses while many of our features are handy for both personal or business email communication. Free / lower tier users of Mixmax have limited access to their Business features - our free plan (Essential) allows 30 free monthly Professional / Business actions. Some extra features we also offer are Email Signatures (templates+custom builder), Tasks, Notes that you can share and sync across Mailbutler team users. For more info you can check out our full list of functions and pricing here: www.mailbutler.io/pricing 🙏

I've never found a mail app that could match Mailbox which Dropbox shutdown, my inbox has never recovered. The primary feature that I've found missing is the ability to snooze emails to appear when on a computer or mobile device, does Mailbutler do that? Does Mailbutler create more than one label in the primary labels area? Many of the professional features are done by my existing mail app without the monthly cost.

Awesome product, I've been using the new beta since it launched and I can only recommend it. Well done!

Thanks @mrdobelina!

Hello from Berlin! 👋  Firstly, a huge thank you to Ton (@t55) for hunting us. It was 2 years ago when we first introduced Mailbutler, a lightweight plugin for Apple Mail that brings an extensive range of productivity-boosting features. We're grateful to have helped over 100k users to leverage their every day productivity on Apple Mail. At the same time we saw a problem with the growing number of Gmail plugins on the market each offering different and complex functions: they work, but they don't necessarily work together. This is exactly why we've decided to bring the simplicity of Mailbutler to a second platform. Our team worked really hard over the past few months to perfect your experience with Mailbutler, and today we're excited to share with you our biggest update so far: the new Mailbutler is now fully ready for both Apple Mail AND Gmail, with new and improved features. Please leave us any comments, suggestions, or feedback - hearing from you is how we get better. 🙏 Thank you for checking us out, we hope you enjoy your freshly charged inbox! Cheers, Fabian and the Mailbutler team

@dotguru Awesome to have the update. Mailbutler adds some essential functionality to the Mail app. I use it all the time.
Ognjen Vukovic
@t55 @dotguru I love it! I will try this for sure. :) Be sure to check out our tool , it will be very interesting to you. https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

as a mac user myself, i never understand why would people pay money to upgrade apple native apps while there are so many free tools around? how will it make apple's native mail app better then, say, Spark mail?
Flowsion
I've tried a lot of different apps and always end up going back to the native Mail app. I think MailButler is made for people like me, who would rather use Mail app than all the other programs out there. It's not necessarily for those who prefer something like Spark Mail, unless you prefer it because Mail is missing a few features and would love to jump back.
Simone Wong
@igor_march Hi Igor! We believe Mailbutler offers a simpler and more intuitive approach to boost email productivity. While Mailbutler is not a stand alone client, we integrate a wide range of functionalities that are missing into Apple Mail / Gmail - this is done seamlessly and with little to no interface change -- which many find annoying when switching to an entirely new email app. Hope this answers your question :)
Manuel
Looks like a nice product. Any idea if this fixes one problem I have with Apple Mail on my Mac? I archive all my messages and there‘s starred messages which show up normally in Gmail, but they won‘t appear in Apple Mail, because they‘re not in my inbox anymore. If Mailbutler makes all my starred messages show up again, I‘d be so freaking happy.

I've been using a prior version of MailButler for several months now and I love the features it adds to Apple Mail. I'm excited to try version 2.0! Read receipts alone make it totally worth it.
Simone Wong
@austriker27 Thanks for the kind words! 😍

I loved the email pause feature and sadly it has been removed. More importantly, the security issues introduced in v2 are a deal-breaker for me. If the makers are reading this, is there a way to still subscribe and use the old version? I deleted my account yesterday, but would start a paid subscription if I can still use the previous version.

Pros:

None for me at this time

Cons:

Security issues, removed useful features

Orcun Akca
Hey guys! Great work! I enjoy using the freemium. However, the subscription model for an add-on doesnt really makes sense.
Kiwami Livingston

wish I could just pay for it once.. but awesome program that has become a staple on my mail client. I've told all my friends about it.

Pros:

Smooth, lightweight, convenient and very unintrusive

Cons:

subscription

Fabian Jäger
That's so great to hear! Thank you for sharing Mailbutler with your friends too. 🙏

The best feature of MB to me was the toolbar icon that allowed you to quickly compose an email. NowI see three tabs in this icon: Activity which doesn't seem to do anything, Notes which allows you to put a note on an email (but this icon only displays the ones you have created), and Tasks (similar to notes). So, it appears the feature I used MB for is now not there at all. :(

Pros:

Notes tab might be useful, as well as the task tab.

Cons:

price, the functionality I used in MB ver1 is no longer there (or at least isn't obvious).

Szymon Sekula
Hi Glenn, The feature to quickly compose whole emails or just paragraphs is still in the new version of Mailbutler. Check out this article which shows two methods of using the Templates: https://support.mailbutler.io/kn... Feel free to reach out to me via szymon@mailbutler.io if you have any additional questions.

I used the 1.0 version of Mailbutler every day. I loved how it made my my Apple Mail experience much much better. However the move to Mailbutler 2.0 has not been good. They are collecting my emails with no way to opt out. Why do they need my emails? They did not need that in the old version. Also why can't I opt out of this. This is a security risk. Who is looking at my emails. They use to be able to add reminders to Apple Reminders, in 2.0 that feature I use the most often for my workflow is gone. I have no other uses for this tool any more. .

Pros:

None anymore. I need a new tool.

Cons:

Email collection without a way to opt out...security issue

Use to be able to use Apple Reminders

Alan Hyman
I can't use this tool any more because of the email collection without opt out and the lack of integration with Apple Reminders (Version 1 had this integration). Any ideas of a another tool I can try out?
Mark D Rios
As a lifetime member and business plan subscriber,I really enjoy the concept, its surely one of a kind! There are a few things I would like to point out. The newer Beta 2.1 works better than the original version 2.1, not sure how that makes any sense. The "show contact information" button is great now because I can have my mac mail open as well as automatically have the "mcard" or Contact information window constantly open. I don't understand why I have to click on the contact information tab then CLICK AGAIN on the smaller grey triangle to the left of the name to get their info. I should be able to click the "view contact information" tab and VIEW THE INFO (like on the older version) not have to click again. Also, why is the contact info highlighted in RED? That would make it seem as if there is something wrong. I would suggest highlighting it in the company teal green. Email tracking is great, when it works. with 2.0, I send out emails, then when i go to my sent tab and click on an email i sent, I get a notification that the RECIPIENT opened the email. UMMM no, I just did so why is it telling me that the recipient did. Are we able to go back to the original MailButler until this is fixed? Suggestions: Mail Merge option- that would seal the deal!
Antonio Volpon

As a subscriber of the service I was eager to try the new Mailbutler version. Mailbutler is probably one the few utilities I use on a regular basis the whole day, and it's a valuable companion for my project management job.

However, I found the newer 2.0 version to be extremely unstable and buggy, so much that I had to reinstall the previous Mac plugin.

Moreover, some of the functionalities it was once possible to disable (like displaying thumbnail pictures on the email list or getting rid of the menu icon) are currently there to stay.

I already emailed the company, hopefully they'll come back soon.

For now my suggestion is: use the gmail extension or remain to the old Mac plugin.

Pros:

complete, clever, integrated

Cons:

buggy

Fabian Jäger
Thank you for the feedback, Antonio! We collected a lot of feedback during beta and we promise it will only get better in every update. 😄 We'll definitely be fixing the issues you mentioned.
Joris Crozier

I'm using it since few months and I like it, I'm paying it but since upgrade to version 2, I'm paying for nothing because my datas are on old version, can you transfert it so I can enjoy email traking again ?

Thanks

Pros:

clever, integrated

Cons:

buggy ?

Szymon Sekula

I am using Mailbutler in my work as a sales exec every day. I is a great all-in-one package, especially for those using Mac computers. I can track my emails, prepare them quickly with templates, undo sending (a life saver not present in Mail by default!) and on top of that bcc them to my crm.

Pros:

all in one, multiple integrations

Cons:

subscription
