Say goodbye to email overload with Airmail 3
Say goodbye to email overload with Airmail 3
Chances are, if there’s something you want to do, Airmail can do it. It’s very powerful
Email can be a source of much joy and the cause of immense irritation!
Wouldn’t it be great if you could get the former without the latter? That’s what Airmail 3 offers. It’s designed to organise even the busiest accounts.
Airmail integrates with stacks of thirdparty apps to share information, notes and events; it enables you to hide messages until you actually need to do something about them, and you can customise everything from its icons to what happens when you swipe the trackpad. At £9.99 it’s excellent value for money; the time it’ll save you will repay your investment over and over again.
One of the things we really like about Airmail is that it doesn’t force you to sacrifice anything. The most powerful apps tend to prioritise utility over appearance, but Airmail is as pretty as it is powerful; it’s also exceptionally easy to use and, if you use trackpad swipes, keyboard shortcuts or the new MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar, incredibly quick. And where some apps take a like it or lump it approach to their interface, Airmail enables you to try different themes, add or remove on-screen options and even customise which icons appear in the message window.
And there’s more
We’re going to explore the most important features here, but we don’t have enough pages to show you everything Airmail can do – so, for example, it has an unsubscribe function for unwanted marketing messages, a powerful search engine, Smart Folders and the ability to save attachments to your favourite cloud service(s). And it’s not just limited to iCloud and Gmail either – it works with Exchange, Outlook, Live.com, IMAP and POP3. Chances are, if there’s something you want to do, Airmail can do it.
In this tutorial, we’re going to use Airmail on macOS, but there’s also a really good iOS version for iPhone and iPad. Like its macOS sibling the iOS version is very, very fast, and it’s particularly pretty on the iPad. For sheer speed, though, nothing beats the iPhone version: its customisable swipes make it easy to tame even the most tumultuous email inbox. If you have a busy inbox or inboxes, running and syncing Airmail across all your devices will save you an enormous amount of time.
