EF Mailbox Manager

Communication via email is one of the most commonly used nowadays, in both formal and casual environments. With a large variety of clients available, you can instantly gain access and download your emails for security reasons, with EF Mailbox Manager being a suitable example of applications that can handle this task.

At its core, the application aims to connect to an emails service of your choice, keep you updated with latest messages and download your whole inbox so that it is kept safe. The interface is simple and clean, with an upper panel providing quick access to connected accounts, while the lower part enlists the selected user's inbox items.

Establishing the connection is simple enough, filling in a few fields getting the job done. You need to provide the POP3 server, corresponding credentials, as well as whether or not to automate the process of checking and downloading mails.

However, the application leaves a little something to be desired when it comes to functionality. Connection is flawlessly established, emails are retrieved and downloaded, but it can take some time and even if the automatic refresh is enabled and set at low intervals, you need to wait a considerable amount of time before receiving latest entries.

What's more, notifications are an implemented option, with the possibility to set visual and acoustic notifications, but apparently with no result. Saved items are found under the EML format so you need to also look for an app that can process them, since the application in question can't because of poor feature implementation.

On an ending note, EF Mailbox Manager promises to offer a little more comfort and sense of security when managing your emails. Moreover, there's also a portable version so you can connect from various locations. However, the application is a little rough around the edges, with latest entries not being promptly delivered and several other issues that get frustrating over long-term use.
