EmailTray

By default, email services are accessed through a web browser, but it’s just one more thing you don’t really need to keep it busy with, especially because of all desktop clients. For instance, EmailTray allows you to stay connected to multiple accounts at the same time, receive, and send messages with incredibly little effort.

Needless to say that the first step is to add one, or more accounts, and this is easily done by providing the appropriate address, and associated password. Once verified, you can tweak account settings, such as check frequency, as well as incoming mail server, which can be of different types like IMAP, POP3, AOL, Gmail, and more.

The application starts checking your inbox right away, and filters them according to importance. These also represent custom locations for easy filter, such as top priority, low, no priority, or spam. What’s more, you can customize which of these groups to trigger notifications, which comes in handy to be alerted only of highly-important messages.

All accounts you add are mixed together, in the sense that you don’t have to switch to view messages from a different inbox. Don’t worry, the receiver account is specified, and there’s also an option to select the one to use when sending a message. Moreover, an account can be set as default, or you can organize them as favorites, so you only receive notifications for those of interest.

The application manages to make a pretty good impression overall. The set of features bundles all common email handling options, from quick reply, to archiving in custom categories, removing, and more. Sending emails is also easy, with different font customization options, possibility to add attachments, and even create custom signatures to use in the accounts you prefer.

To sum it up, EmailTray manages to live up to expectations, and can quickly convince you to use it as your default email client. With a visually appealing interface, and possibility to stay connected to multiple accounts at the same time, you’re sure not to miss any messages. Notifications are fully customizable, making the application a keeper.
