However, its speed is quicker when receiving a fewer messages at once.
Mailbird does generally have load slowly when first opened, mainly caused from populating your entire Gmail account and all folders. If you receive too many frequent messages you can disable this chirp. When a new email or notification arrives a bird chirp will play. The apps in generally don’t have an unique interface in Mailbird, instead they simply open the service’s webpage in the client.Įmails from major social networks such as Facebook or LinkedIn are clearly marked with icons so that you can quickly identify them. The slight annoyance is that the app does not search for contacts you will need to have your contacts app open or know the exact email address.
This includes being able to select font type, size, and color, a paragraphs alignment, and any images, lists, or links. You can also use any Gmail keyboard shortcuts in Mailbird, making it even faster to access different features.Ĭomposing an email will open a new compact window that has all the normal writing functionality. In the upper right hand corner you can quickly add labels, download attachments, or reply to an email. Once an email is picked, this space will fill with the message, graphics, metadata, and menu controls. Before a message is selected there will be a large empty space. Emails are listed in a large column that takes up only a fourth of the screen. Nearly all of the menus, apps, and notifications are accessed from a toolbar on the left. There are also links to popular tech blogs such as TechCrunch and Lifehacker. You can also use apps to connect to online services such as Dropbox, Facebook, and Asana. Feature Apps include quick access to contacts, a detailed calendar, and the ability to search attachments. Mailbird also includes several optional apps that provide more functionality or connect to other services. There are plans to add multiple account support in the final release, but for now this is not part of Mailbird's beta. Identities also do not save folders, labels, drafts or sent messages to the secondary accounts, only to the primary account. However, you have to setup e-mail forwarding within Gmail. Identities allow you to forward several e-mail accounts through a single Gmail account, making it very similar to having multiple accounts.
However, you can work around this with the Identities feature. Another downside is that the beta only allows a single Gmail account at once. Mailbird does not support more advanced options such as filters, making it lackluster if you want to perform complex tasks. The app provides basic Gmail features such as composing emails, and sorting email into folders and labels.
