Mailbox 2.0.3
Sleek interface with some features at hand
At least the app starts with a tutorial showing users how to access all its features and tools, in order to make the most out of the app. But before you can access your latest emails, you'll need to sign in to your account.
Unfortunately, Mailbox currently supports only Gmail and iCloud accounts which makes it quite limited and you can't sign in with multiple accounts either. All Dropbox clients get 1 GB of extra space when installing Mailbox app and it seems that many have tried it out just for the extra storage.
Manage emails from only one account
The biggest inconvenient of Mailbox is that you can sign in with just one account, without the option of adding more addresses which is quite inconvenient, considering that people use multiple accounts in their day to day lives. Still, the app comes with a really nice design.
The home page opens all your recent messages in the inbox while the side menu gives you access to all sections inside the app. You can search for certain emails, check out sent or draft messages.
The app relies mostly on gestures, with a simple swipe you can delete emails, archive them or assign them to lists so you may keep your live organized and activities well defined. You can edit HTML emails before replying or forwarding to someone and Google Calendar invite emails are rendered in mobile-friendly format.
Send all sorts of emails
Just like other email services, the app lets you write all sort of emails, attach files including from your Dropbox account and send them to friends. You can create a signature for emails if you wish and assign functions for gestures.
Users may also manage notifications, but they should know that the app takes a while to sync information and fetch whichever email you may have received. Still, the service is pretty secure considering that it uses Dropbox infrastructure and all emails are encrypted as to protect your privacy. The app also has a method that may help you to clear emails from your inbox but it's only available if you have more than 100 conversations.
