#MAIL PILOT REVIEWS UPDATE#

Users on the App Store have understandably groused that when you set aside messages or ask Mail Pilot to remind you about them later, that mail gets pulled from your IMAP inbox to folders deep within Mail Pilot’s own file system. The program also seems to assume that you want to use email only in its task-driven way, and you won’t be using any other clients except Mail Pilot.

Mindsense says a future update will add both refinements. And its search abilities are limited only to senders and subject lines, not the text within a message body. If you start a new message, you can’t save it as a draft and come back to it later. Unfortunately, Mail Pilot still lacks a few important features. While they initially contributed to my confusion, I came to appreciate the multiple ways Mail Pilot can present those threads, which are listed as clickable names at the top of each chain of messages. However, Mail Pilot’s presentation of threaded messages took a little more adjusting to at first, I found the tangle of messages hard to follow. It’s not Mac standard, but its beautiful font choice and stark black, white, gray, and deep-red color scheme helped me focus on the right information when I needed it. I really liked Mail Pilot’s clean, appealing design. You can drill deeper into individual accounts or webmail folders, but by default, that information’s hidden until you click the Sources button above the top left message column.Ĭheck off messages as you complete them, and they’ll vanish into your archives. With those accounts up and running, messages from both appeared in a unified stream on the left-hand side of the screen. Checking Mail Pilot’s thorough, excellent Help files ultimately revealed the exact settings I’d need to enter. Setting up my personal Gmail account was a snap, but an Office365 account from work gave me a little more trouble at first. Mail clients, Mail Pilot only supports IMAP.

You can easily view messages in each of these categories via buttons at the top of the screen. Clearly labeled keyboard shortcuts at the bottom of the screen carry out each of these tasks, and more shortcuts for replying to or forwarding mail appear at the top of each message.

Each message can be checked off when you’re done with it and sent to your archive folder postponed for however many days you specify added to a list of similar messages for later review or set aside until you’ve got time to give it more attention. Mail Pilot reshapes your whole email workflow around this concept, turning your inbox into a to-do list.

Mail Pilot’s stark, simple interface matches its no-nonsense approach.
