myMail box: email client app Reviews

by HeresMyTwoCents

myMailbox is so beautifully designed. The colors, fonts and spacing are perfectly pleasing and great to work with. It’s a pleasure to use, except for one glaring flaw which the developer just apparently does not see as being important, because people have been requesting it forever, yet he just refuses to provide it...

Every email app worth using allows you to have a “unified” inbox, but for some bizarre reason, myMailbox still does not. So if you have more than one email account, which everybody does these days, (I have 7 that I have to manage), it means you will have to constantly swipe back-and-forth, back-and-forth all day long in order to constantly check the inboxes of all your accounts. I just seriously cannot understand the point of this.

What a shame. By simply giving the users a unified inbox, myMailbox could easily outshine some of the big players in the market. But without it, it never will.

The new interface is horrible, slow and not effective. With several mail accounts previously with a touch you coludo see what emails you had with just one look, now is horrible, you need to slide the finger for each account in the circles that correspond for each account. Imagine this as an old 35mm film where if you wanted a specific frame you went directly to see it, each frame is one email account, in this fictitious example. Now you are obligated as to see all the movie to find just one frame, in this case each time you want to check the emails of one account you need to slide all other accounts HORRIBLE! Bad design. I used MyMail for years and it was a master piece now is not as optimal as before. Also I note it has some freezes, or lags when you have dozens of accounts, previously it was fast, you opened the application and the mails were there immediately, now you open a time and there is a lag time or freeze until myMailbox comes alive and when you navigate between accounts also there are lags or freezes and you need to wait to have the control of myMailbox . Why destroy something it was beautiful? I don’t know but it happened. I will see other options of email managers now.

So, this morning I needed to get to my email quickly and it had signed my out if my outlook account. Thanks myMail, I am in a hurry and now I have to look up my #%^* password. So I found the password and log in. It comes back and says problems with server. I cycle the phone and still can’t find server. I log into outlook on the web and with the win 10 app. Works fine but with myMail, “problems with server”. Ridiculous, no way to fix so I simply download Microsoft’s native outlook email app and added my gmail account and all is fine. MyMail, you cannot indiscriminately log off your Customers, especially if you make it impossible to log back in again. We don’t have time to go through any chat or phone support and I doubt you have it anyway. Whatever your problem is, this will reduce your customer set very quickly. danfinn at outlook dot com.

I have been using myMailbox for more than five years and I have the same problems that, despite repeated attempts at contacting support, have never been resolved. I use myMailbox (always the latest version) on both an iPhone and an iPad (running the latest operating systems). Whenever I delete an email on one device, I have to manually delete it from the second device, as well. My email account does not sync so that it matches on both devices. I have contacted support about this many times, only to be told to send logs and screenshots. They never have been able to fix it. Also, my application badge notifications always show one more email than I actually have received. (For example, the badge will show 2 when I only have received 1 new email.) These problems have gone on for so long, I got used to them. But I’ve recently discovered other apps - like Outlook - don’t have these issues.

I have use myMailbox for a year or two and for the most part I really liked it. But on multiple occasions it suddenly said that I had the wrong password. At first I thought it was an issue with my AOL account. So I change the password and went back-and-forth and finally got in through myMailbox . But this time around, no matter how many times I change the password and make sure I was using the right password, MyMail would tell me I had the wrong password. I reported the issue and they said it was known and that they are working on it. This was two or three days ago. Just before this happened, I had sent an email to myself as a simple way to get a final bid from one computer to another. It took four hours for the email to arrive. From the same account to the same account. I also sent an email with attachments to my military account from my AOL account and it also took several hours to arrive. I am not having these issues outside of transactions that don’t involve MyMail. If they are experiencing a “known issue“ they should let their customers know so that their customers don’t waste valuable time trying to resolve something that cannot be resolved.

I’m always searching for the best mail app. I was having a problem with fake calendar appointments hijacking my email threads and that glitch where, if you type something like “I’m okay,” in Gmail, it would make the “I” lowercase if it wasn’t the first word in the sentence and capitalize the next word, so you got, “i’m Okay.” So, I finally got tired of the glitches and went looking for a better one. So far, using myMail, I have not had any issue with the I+contraction or the fake appointments. However, myMail does crash frequently, and there are certain emails where the images will not download properly. So, OneKingsLane is OOL if they are trying to inspire me to buy something h because I won’t go to a site if I can’t see an image that inspires me to go there. I just delete those emails and move on. Otherwise, it’s still better than the G app.

myMail is my favorite email App Ever. I have downloaded all of the top notch email apps and this one has everything you could ask for in an email app. Except a good search engine and an all inclusive inbox. The features to access attachments through the files app, the ability to create new folder within myMailbox and more makes it almost the best app in the game. But I can’t give it five stars nor can I continue to use until the search engine is fixed. I rely to much on this.

For Support Team: Every time I search for my emails or search directly for he recipient or sender of an email it shows up and then disappears. I can’t find a lot of my emails because they are not showing up when I search for them. Please fix! If it’s a user issue I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I’ve used my Mail for several years now. I’ve tried other email apps & this has always been the most convenient app for me. Unfortunately, the new update has just made my life slightly more complicated. In the past, when myMailbox was opened, you could immediately see all of your email accounts and how many unread emails each contained. You could then click on the account of your choice & click on the new email.

Now when you open myMailbox , not only do you have to relearn where your accounts are located on the screen because that has been changed, but you also can’t see all of your accounts immediately, because the last account you had opened is the only one displaying on the opening screen.

So you have to click on the account that was opened last in order to see all of your email accounts, then click on the account you want to open...which you also have to relearn because they are now displayed horizontally instead of vertically on the screen.

Not a happy camper with the new layout! That one extra step is a nuisance, but having to relearn the layout after several years of the same one is very annoying. We are all too busy these days to have to relearn something that was absolutely perfect the way it was. I want to give it fewer stars because I’m so annoyed, but I have been a loyal user for so long that I don’t have the heart to.

Why change what was already perfect? Why?!!!

Ok. I've upped the star count to 4 because appsupport contacted me in less then 12 hours. What they said to do didn't make much sense considering myMailbox would not stay up but the effort was there.

Deleted and reinstalled. Seems to work now. Still only giving it three stars because support seems to have vanished. When I open app it stays up for about 2 seconds and then crashes. One star until this gets fixed. Also one star for there being no way to report problem. If you click on app support it takes you to a faq page. Big Fracking help that is . Seems other reviewer hit it on the head, all they care about is games now.

This is a VERY good program - especially for accounts having a very large number of emails! It does an excellent job of quickly loading and performs extremely quick searches within the accounts.

There are just 2 reasons why I did not give it 5-Stars: A) Outgoing messages are composed in HTML which seems to add extra blank lines when composing some replies; and, B) It would be most helpful [at least for me] to have a feature where designated accounts can be integrated into a unified Inbox rather than needing to manually switch between the Inbox of each separate account within the program—to be fair, you can select badges to display the number of New or Unread message on the Avatar for each account.

Nonetheless, this is my “go-to” program to find and verify messages—particularly when iOS is challenged by multiple accounts and large numbers of emails!!!

I generally do not write app reviews - may have done 2-3 in the last 4 years but wanted to give myMailbox some props - I have used myMailbox for years and it is the only app I use to check my email daily - it’s extremely user friendly and simplistic - it has everything you need for your day to day email needs - if I had to find any fault with myMailbox (which is not an easy thing to do) It would be 1) there should be an ability to arrange folders in the order you want them - placing the most frequently used folders at the top would make the user experience so much nicer and 2) the built in ads - now, before you turn your back on myMailbox over the word “ads”, let me be very clear, you hardly ever notice them and should not detour you into getting It - they blend in perfectly with everything else so i cannot complain being that this is a free app - I just get tired of deleting them when they show up on my email - would have no problem paying for an ad free version of this and would recommend the developer to consider that.

All that being said, this is a pretty flawless app and I have no intention of using any other app for years to come.

I have a bad tendency to try to move emails to a folder but as I scroll, I sometimes end up putting it in the wrong folder on accident. That’s bad and on me. BUT, if we could see what folder it was moved to, along with the ‘undo’ feature (which is helpful when you know which folder it went to), we could tell if we needed to undo it before the option went away. I don’t know about anyone else, but I would love that added as a feature on myMailbox. I had it on a different app I was using before and it was very helpful and I really miss the ability to do it on this one.

I initially got myMailbox because I needed to make sure I’d actually get immediate email notifications from my school (and the mail app already on my phone does a terrible job at that) and myMailbox has become so much more than that in the time I’ve been using it! Now, after a span of a few months (if not a year), I operate with multiple of my emails (personal, school, business, etc) all with myMailbox and can get actual immediate notifications from all of them, as well as send emails from all of them. myMailbox ’s interface is wonderful and myMailbox has been a lifesaver to me, also making me more active with my email since it has become so much more accessible for me. Plus, it’s just a great feeling to be able to verify my email for websites in seconds, being notified in seconds as if the email is a text!

myMailbox has become my main mail app and I don’t plan on changing it any time soon!

myMailbox is a lifesaver. I have been on Newton (old CloudMagic) since they started, just got a message that they are shutting down so I desperately needed a replacement.

I’m on an IMAP email server (GoDaddy) and I have a vast amount of subfolders with filtered email, where all my various clients get their emails filtered to their own subfolder.
I need to get notifications for when a new email pops in in any of those folders and it has been a long and thankless search for an email app that would do this.

MyMAIL is just perfect! Not only does it work perfectly with notifying me, but it is actually quicker and proved more reliable than Newton ever was (I ran the apps parallel while testing it) The new mail notifications came quicker than on Newton, and the mail count badge is for ALL folders, not just the inbox as with all other.
You can also choose which subfolders to sync and get notifications on.

Not to mention, they don’t charge $50 a year like Newton did!

Big thumbs up from me. This is the best app for professional emailing. Seriously.

I have tried every single version of a mail app to avoid using the native Apple iPhone mail app. Mostly because they haven’t updated it in years (that’s pathetic) and the design is boring and not modern. I downloaded myMailbox and had a completely opposite experience. It’s fresh looking- it’s crisp- it works- it’s organized- you can see my friends emoji’s/profile pics on their emails to me. It has the cutest alert sounds and well designed notifications. I can go on and on! I highly recommend myMailbox!
Note: The one thing I don’t know about myMailbox is if when you “spam” an email out of your mailbox, does myMailbox refuse to accept email from that sender ever again? I would love that to be the case!

I’m a person who likes to try different things before I find what works for me and it’s no different with mail apps. I’ve tried a dozen they all had a few features I liked and others I didn’t really care for which is ultimately why I decided to try another app. After a couple of cycles of trying then getting over myMailbox , I came across mymail. I’ll admit I was skeptical beforehand but after having it for a few hours, I knew my search for the perfect mail app was over. It has many features including having multiple accounts, ease of use, clean and sleek, has pictures next to who ever is sending you an email (even known company’s logos which I find really cool), personalized mail and several other things. The only downside is that I didn’t find this gem sooner. Thank you so much for this beautiful app, it has made the search worth it.

Love love love myMailbox. I'm a student, community organizer, and a social worker...so I definitely use different email accounts often. The interface is just so easy on the eyes. I oftentimes feel overwhelmed when apps have a lot or too little going on, but myMailbox seems spatially balanced. I also have light sensitivity so the colors don't hurt my eyes as much too. The font is smooth and the different ways to delete/mark emails is really nice. There used to be problems with deleting emails from the original servers, but that's been long fixed. If you want something simple, nice on the eyes, and can handle your many many email accounts, this one could be for you! :D

Edit: Just came across the pin option! This is a plus since some of my emails contain client information and I wouldn't want folx to have easy access to it just in case my phone gets lost/stolen.

I've been using myMail for about six months now. I've tried so many email apps & none of them have worked for me. But myMail fits the bill. I love the simplicity of it. There isn't any extra fluff to confuse you. I handle eight different email accounts with this one app and it's remains fast. While at work, I'll receive a work email sent through myMail at least a minute before I receive it through my native work email account (Microsoft).
I changed my cell number a couple of months ago & absolutely forgot that myMail users need their cell number to log in... I attempted to update my number within myMailbox . It didn't work. So I reached out to customer support & they were able to update it for me. No problem. I will continue to use myMailbox as long as they keep things simple & update it regularly. I really wish they had an app for my MacBook Pro. That would make myMail a perfect 5🌟App!👌🏽

I love myMailbox and have used it as my main mail app for more than 4 years, started with my first iPhone. I prefer Apple products have a iPad Pro, iPad Air, and a MacBook Pro yet apples mail system is unfamiliar to me and prefer using my-mail, I guess it because it’s what I first learned so it’s the only app for mail I use. Nothing is prefect though and I do have a couple issues with it. The cell number associated with my first and main email account I can’t use anymore since II no longer have that number. Along those lines I wish they had app for my MacBook and my PC, I don’t like and rarely use my outlook/Hotmail accounts. Over the years some businesses would not except a mymail email if opening an account, I don’t know why, and maybe that is no longer an issue? It is great over the years they continue to improve by letting you add folders and other benefits I assume other mail apps offer.

by SteveARosa

For years I depended on Microsoft’s “OutLook” as my Favorite Email App. But Not Anymore Since Meeting “MyMail!” True it’s only email, which doesn’t include the other connecting apps/programs such as you calendar, reminders, etc. BUT... who needs these other obstacles in our way on our Phones? We already have those apps on our phones! It notifies you when an email comes in but you can wait an take care of it like you can with a text. I wish you could sync with your computer and maybe in the future it will! At least they do NOT FORCE YOU to use THEIR DOMAIN NAME!!! I’m able to use my own Domain Name by way of my POP3 email server! However if you use GMail, YaHoo EMail, etc you can as well! Simple to run and simple to setup! myMailbox is a NO BRAINER!

Of course, no software is perfect, but this one is better than Microsoft Outlook’s app. One feature I liked in Edison’s app that this one doesn’t have is (1) the ability to view all emails in one in-box, as well as by individual email accounts. Another wishlist feature would be to (2) have one set of folders to be used for all email accounts. Another feature Edison had that I loved was the ability to (3) schedule an email to be revisited on another day by clicking a tiny clock icon. The message then moved itself to a Scheduled directory. All-in-all, after testing many apps, myMail is the one I ultimately chose and the one I will use moving forward.

I never write reviews, but when asked by myMail I thought I should given that it’s free and how much I like it. First off, the UI is excellent. What I really like about it is that I have and old AOL account that I’ve had since ~ 1996 and still get a lot of semi-pertinent mail in it. I also use it as a second email service so that when I sign up for something superfluous but necessary (e.g. ordering food) it doesn’t require my personal address. It’s always good to have a second email address for this. Nevertheless, the antiquated AOL system doesn’t catch spam and leads to cluttering; whereas myMail™️ catches almost all SPAM resulting to a more streamlined mail box.
