OnMail - Best Shopping Email Reviews

I really like this email service. I like that I can control who gets in my inbox. I now have transitioned to this app as my primary email provider. I did put in a support ticket because I am not receiving mail from one domain to verify my email change. Also it would be great if there was an option to disable the quotes after I am done going through my inbox. The quotes to me are some what of an annoyance because some are so large that they take up all of my screen.

It looks cool and is pretty straightforward. It gives you a chance to knowingly use your habits to inform your inbox. But OnMail can’t consistently delete an email. About 90% of the time when I delete an email via OnMail , the email is still there the next time I open OnMail . This is not a problem, however, when I delete an email from the web browser, it always deletes. That inconsistency, to me, is a greater issue of reliability.

Sometimes the system struggles to consistently move/align emails from the same senders into the same inboxes. And there’s no calendar integration or Mail app (iOS) integration.

In all, I use this app as a backup account for emails I don’t want littering my primary email. I thought this would be a good replacement for Gmail, but I’m not yet convinced. Still someway to go before I would pay for their services or use this app as a primary email service.

I’m guessing I’m not in the target market for this service. I fail to understand why traversing OnMail is so convoluted and requires selecting obscure tabs like “other” when I didn’t setup other and I don’t know why some mail appears there and other mail is in Primary. Then there’s deleting mail, the single most used activity aside from reading. Delete is behind another menu selection and, although this may seem like a trivial complaint, it’s the thing I want to do the most. And then there’s the mail list view which gives me no idea what mail I have besides the first one on the list. I’m obviously missing something and I’m guessing there’s a rather nice manual out there which I could spend the time to read to get my email but there should be an option of making this more like regular email clients until I want to take the time to learn OnMail.

With it’s first update, I sadly have to retract my original review and 4 stars of OnMail. They made adding additional accounts available but behind a paywall and needing to upgrade to premium to use the function. What a huge deal breaker, I had high expectations for this company but it’s sadly falling short. There’s also no easy setup of Apple Mail (you have to set up IMAP instead) like in their Edison app, you’re better off there for other accounts.

INITIAL REVIEW: “I’ve been using this app for a while now and the service is great - I’m glad to finally see a native app for the service. Their new app’s interface and aesthetics are pleasing, but sadly you can’t add any other email account/server other than this app; even though they advertise the ability to do so. I was looking forward to replacing Apple’s dated Mail app. I hope the “add another account” feature becomes available in a future update. Nonetheless, if you’re an avid this app user, OnMail is great so far.”

I love this app as an email service and app, yet each iteration of it has places of needed alteration. The web app needs a united inbox view the most of anything. The mobile app needs an alternative option for viewing split inboxes, because if you have quite a few it becomes a massive scroll bar of tabs, which is stupid. It also needs a way to hide certain splits or even sub them into each other. The whole split inbox concept needs some touch up when used between multiple accounts. It also freezes anytime you add emails to a split. Also love to see a widget. I want this app to be my only mail app, but these issues are holding it back for now. Excited for when they don’t though.

I have been trying them all from ProtonMail to Hey, but keep coming back to this app as a favorite. To be honest, their web email platform is the best while the iOS app has some room to improve… they are new and this will continue to get better in future iterations. I appreciate the simple format, features, and clean look. Others have commented on the fees; however, I found it simple to sign up for a free account online and give it a good try before committing. I am excited for this modern email option and look forward to what is to come from this app!

Overall nice effort by the team with bringing another email service to the market. Here’s what I think of it;

PROS
- the custom inboxes is a super cool idea. Something I’d love to see in Gmail as well.
- fast , I can quickly navigate through multiple inboxes which is convenient.
- support is responsive even for free accounts

CONS
- the layout/UI/ interface whatever you wanna call it — too much space in message view list, I can only see a handful of emails. Fonts are rather large and hard to read due to use of light gray color over white background.
- agree with another reviewer here that the Delete button is buried under a separate menu, needs to be somewhere right on top of the message.
- the actual viewing area if email messages is very small , rather narrow. A lot of space is wasted on the right side.
- takes a short while for messages to show in sent folder. It’s not instantaneous.

I feel the interface can do with a refresh to accommodate ease of use.

I like the way this app allows you to block unwanted emails. I also really appreciate being able to import and use other email addresses with the service. I like the labels and split inbox feature.

this app could really use a snooze function which is standard in many email apps. Also the ability to forward your email to another address would be helpful. With those features I would give it 5 stars.

Great marketing, that’s for sure. They make you think that somehow an app like this will reduce the amount of work you have. It’s not possible.

It’s very attractive, but WAY too simple. It can’t accomplish 1/10 of what Outlook or Gmail would do. If that’s what you’re looking for, then you might like this, but those features have developed in most other apps because the vast majority of users want and need those features.

Otherwise, when I linked my Outlook account, it messed up my Outlook‘s inbox, to accommodate this app’s folders. So, I had to immediately unlink it.

I was very excited for this service and I still feel optimistic for its future. I thought it could help save me the enormous headache I experience managing multiple inboxes, but warning, this app does not support G-suite inboxes and only makes sense for people who like having multiple Gmails, which I would recommend removing the word “professional” over.

Now I paid for a year on an app I can’t use, and my frustration and this lost money makes me want to stop using Edison as well while I choose something else that meets my needs after having gotten excited and wasted my own time.

This is a simple and elegant email app that will allow you to only allow who and what has access to your email. The privacy and option to manage that is awesome. Now if you can only add that import email accounts option that you tout in the description :)

I’m honestly loving my experience with this app so far. It has some minor bugs and a few features missing that other mail apps offer, but there’s a lot of potential here. I’m a big fan of the security/privacy-based approach to email, and the UI is nice and clean. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for this new email service in the future!

I want to love OnMail. I love the idea of OnMail, and many things about it. But I can’t understand why so many valuable functions were left out. It makes it honestly a bit unusable. Specifically, 1) you can’t snooze an email. So either delete it or have to keep it in your inbox until the date you want it. This is something I think many people can’t do without. 2) Edison mail has a one-click unsubscribe, which is great, but it’s not in this app. Huh? 3) Support for OnMail is non-existent.

Disclaimer: I was looking to manage my current mailboxes for free or cheap. $5 per month is too much for me to manage my emails. I couldn’t experience what the service has to offer.

I don’t think the model is suitable for average folk who at least want to try and see what the service has to offer. Instead, this app creates a new email for you - yep, yet another email account.

In order to get a single account import you need to pay $5 monthly fee. It might be good for people whose daily job depends on how well their mailboxes are organized.

The subscription models are the money generating models in today’s world. Sadly, I have been bitten too many times to stay away from those. The price point of $1 a month still sounds reasonable for me. But $5 to organize my junk mail which I’m going to mass delete is just pointless.

I’ve been a fan of Edison but had to leave them because search is awful on their app. Of course I wanted to try this one and when I saw there was no free trial I still pulled the trigger and paid for one month knowing that it came from a serious company, but app is not working at all, it freezes or is unresponsive on IPhone 13. I expect to get something in return when I pay for something but this makes me feel scammed!

It’s about time an email service did it right! I have always thought unless you authorize an email to come in it doesn’t. This is the way it should have been done from the very beginning!

Sooooo much promise … but from what I can tell. No split pane view on iPad (dealbreaker), and it seems the iOS app does not support many of the advanced features the web app does - i.e. split mailboxes, custom domains, etc, and right click functionality on iPad. Hoping for an update soon to justify my whopping $5 a month (jk - it’s cheap.) But seriously - those are some big deals for the iOS app.

Solid email service. Happy with the additional layers of privacy and security via gmail. The service is still young so inevitably OnMail and service still have the occasional bug

So I'm using the free version …clean fast interface … so far so good. I’m liking it.

It’s so nice not to be bombed every freaking day & night by spam email, click bait, unknown senders… and you can screen incoming mail

In various tests with other email addresses l can confirm this app is receiving my emails on different platforms …like Gmail and Yahoo properly. So no problem that way…

I can also confirm the speed and ease by which the emails are sent is pretty fast and easy , and attachments send properly. I haven’t encountered a problem so far.

I left one star the first time. I’m leaving an updated one star.

Upgraded to a paid plan to import Gmail account. Ran into poorly written instructions. Automated support email replied with “we’ll get back with you in 24-48 hours.” No phone contact option. No refund option. The only way to back out of this customer service disaster is to delete your account entirely. There needlessly went $50 in the blink of an eye.

Downloaded OnMail , no place to sign up just sign in. Where do I sign up for a try?

It’s powerful, yet minimal. Easy to use and well designed!! I love it!

I'm unclear about the value proposition here. Its another email app. No differences except in their own advertising. App by itself is ok, integrations are a hit or a miss. Support is slow to respond.

Purchased personal. iPhone failed to store password for unknown reason. Can’t reset. Reset link takes you to App Store. Still waiting a response….

No info on how to set up an account. Just a screen asking for username and password. Tapping on the screen causes everything thing to disappear leaving an empty blue screen.

I found the info by following the support link in OnMail Store and searching the FAQs. You need to go to their website to setup your account. Why do I need to go through this hassle when you could have put this on the opening screen?
