Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros It sometimes works well. With the snap package its impossible to attach any files as all you see is small square boxes, no names at all. I have contacted support a couple of times and they were no help at all. The program is also extremely slow at everything, will be trying a different email client from now on. It was ok, it worked well enough in general. I've tried a lot of email apps and this is far and away my favorite. That's why our whole team switched to BlueMail from outlook. 1. Very clean interface across all phones and computers 2. Includes calendar and zero inbox with a kanban board! 3. The new GEM AI feature is superb, especially for replying, it's just amazing! 4. Very logical Settings menu. 5. Easy to preview and delete emails including the clusters which is perfect. 6, Configured to download and sync emails for offline viewing for 2 weeks by default but can be changed. 7. Use volume control buttons to move forwards and backwards through emails (or disable this feature). Many customizable features. 8. Automatic dark mode according to my device mode It is easy to install and setup. It is also fairly easy to setup folders and sub folders to organize your mail. It is also free. Cons They have a habit of issuing "updates" that make the software completely unusable. The latest adventure: Following an update last week, every time you try to open an email, a completely random different email pops up instead of the one you selected. The good: They instantly responded to email, acknowledged the issue, and said they were prioritizing a fix. The bad: They've aggressively made it impossible to roll back to the last version, so until they get around to that fix, email is essentially unusable. Inability to attach any files all I can see is squares. its a common issue with snap programs. Message window does not open in it's own window like you would expect. This is a single window product so using with multiple monitors is not an option. That was how it worked when I tried it, maybe they've changed that, I did complain about it to them. The only thing I'm lacking at the moment is the ability to sort the inbox by reverse order. I know not many users use it, but I find it useful sometimes. However, with the BlueMail clusters, I am able to use a similar workflow. I have found a few things that could be improved. If I leave my computer running over night and BlueMail open the next day the whole computer is pretty much brought to a stand still. A reboot is needed to solve the speed problem. It does not have its own spelling checker. Some functions are extremely slow, such as moving an email from inbox to a specific folder. Trying to get your pointer on the small sidebar to move your folders up and down is VERY difficult.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros It is possible to send and receive emails and create meetings in the calendar. The visible interface layer can be customized quite extensively with colours of choice, though this takes quite long. Cons Buggy in every aspect; meeting pop-up reminders appear long after the meeting, new-mail slide-ins partly outside the screen and not readable, calendar management is a pain, new contacts not automatically saved, graphic glitches, loads forever on startup, long loading times for even simple tasks, general interaction flow is poor, crashes frequently. (running on a new ThinkPad T14, Windows11)
