Email - Edison Mail Reviews

by Mark The Man

I don’t just get emails from retail outlets letting me know when there’s a sale. I get emails that require timely responses and as such I look to my this app app to let me know when I have received an this app. Sound simple enough. It’s a basic feature that pretty much any app, and just beast this app apps but ANY app can do. Very basically, It reaches out to your this app address, asked if there are any addresses, loads them for you and then displays the number of emails that you have in your inbox that are “unread.” * Email has been messing it up forever* I have reached out to them more than once asking when they’re going to fix such a basic problem! Only once have I gotten a response and it was to acknowledge they they’re app has a bug and the feature doesn’t work. NOW, they added a pop up ad into Email so whenever you open it you have what looks like a really important notification at the bottom that slide up to a full screen display. It’s a very important notification though. It’s them trying to sell you something so you they can make money while continuing to NOT fix something from this app App Features 101: letting me know if I have emails! Moving on to an different app that works and isn’t putting spam on my face.

Updated:
Started receiving MAILER-DAEMON Failure Notice emails over the weekend and they will not stop coming. I’ve even uninstalled Email at this point. Could someone enlighten me as to whether my this app was hacked via your app or if there’s a resolution to this? Because 15+ emails every 1-2 hours is beyond ridiculous.

I give it a little credit because it’s got way more features than the stock Apple this app app, which makes it great when Email actually works. However, more often than not it doesn’t work how it should. I will have notifications that I have emails, open Email and nothing is there. I can delete the same emails over and over again, but the next time I open Email to get another this app the previously deleted emails are back in my inbox. Lately, if I use the swipe left option to delete an this app, it ends up frozen with the bar across the screen and I need to close out Email entirely and reopen to get it back to normal.
I’m trying to stick it out because, as I said before, there are some cool features that make Email good. But if the issues don’t end up resolved I’ll have to see about finding another this app app.

Previous review: DONT USE! Please read through how they blatantly come out and without any shame and a cocky attitude tell you that THEY ARE SELLING YOUR DATA and to screw off if you don’t like it. Well you are not getting this sucker!!!! Everyone spread the word please for others who don’t have time to comb through policies and terms/conditions for the greater good of mankind don’t let anyone steal your private information for their own greed and no benefit to you what so ever. Hey Edison mail... (stupid name btw) how DARE YOU! I will do all I can to let the busy hard working public know so they won’t have to take time from their busy lives and families to sift through it themselves RUN FOR YOUR LIVES DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!

Update: The developer responded to my review and said a sugarcoated description of what their policies say, which if u pick it apart it’s very clear they are all up in your business. Bottom line: like it as much as you’d like as long as you also enjoy being SPIED on. Here is just ONE of the lines directly from their privacy policy as you can see it’s in BOLD. “Edison accesses and processes this app messages in any this app accounts you have connected and data collected from other internet accounts you connect. By linking our Services to your this app or other internet accounts, you authorize us to collect, process, and retain information, including personal information, from those accounts.”

I emailed the developers to report the misleading claims noted below. They responded to say that they would amend the description on Email Store to make it consistent with their privacy policy (which is terrible btw). A week later, they updated Email without amending the language with the false claim about Email ’s security. Lying to consumers about critical security issues is abusive and warrants action by Apple.
—-

The summary on Email Store description says that emails are processed only on the phone and suggests that the developers don't access the this app contents. But if you click on "privacy policy," you get a different picture. E.g., the policy says: “Edison accesses and processes this app messages in any this app accounts you have connected and data collected from other internet accounts you connect. By linking our Services to your this app or other internet accounts, you authorize us to collect, process, and retain information, including personal information, from those accounts. By linking our Services to your this app or other internet accounts, you authorize us to collect, process, and retain information, including personal information, from those accounts.” (emphasis in original)

When I first started using Edison mail I really enjoyed Email . It had many features that I like, like keeping track of my receipts, attachments, etc. But after a few updates, its utility became increasingly problematic. When I find an interesting article, or other informational link, and I want to pass it on to others in the body of the this app, I keep getting the error message that they are sorry but it can’t be sent. This is extremely frustrating, and has cut back on my use of Email significantly, since I then have to instead go directly to my regular this app and cut and paste the same message in order to get it sent. Other messages I have tried to send have gone into my outbox, and I am not always aware that that has happened, because I was away from my phone and did not see the message from Edison mail saying that it went into my outbox— I assume the message has been sent, when it has not, and this has caused me problems and some of my business communications.
I’ve hoped with every upgrade that this problem would be remedied, but it hasn’t.
It’s very frustrating because some of the conveniences of Email are great, and I would like to keep using it if there is some way that this problem can be ameliorated. Please let me know if there is a way this problem can be remedied. Thank you.

Having essentially abandoned this app, except when unavoidably necessary, due to the ridiculous amount of spam this app and my internet providers inability to filter (and that my login credentials would routinely and arbitrarily get changed, locking me out), I was/am overjoyed and appreciate the “quick block/unsubscribe and delete features. However, I’m realizing while quick and easy to do, I find myself unsubscribing AND blocking emails from the same senders daily, if not multiple times daily. So, I don’t know if anything more is being done than deleting offending spam when I use the unsubscribe and block button. Additionally, the “simple” task of printing a shipping label invariably ends up taking...well...way too long (days at times) as either those emails “disappear”, then upon eventually realizing they never showed up in my inbox, contacting the sender to resend, resend again, send in a different format so it gets through, then either the this app has no content, or the attachment won’t open.

So I’ve started to get that upset sensation in my gut that made me give up on emailing, again. And so I’m left deciding if this really is the savior that restores my faith and confidence in dedicating my time, effort, and mental health to emailing, or if it just created a false sense and set me up for more rounds of frustration, trouble-shooting, time spent blocking & unsubscribing, etc.

It's nice to see all of my emails in one place, but there were a couple of cons that have caused me some headaches. The first is that sending emails with an attachment only goes through maybe a third of the time. I think literally every time i have had to send an attachment from my phone it has taken at least three or more attempts. Often times it is because I have to print/send an important document and so it seems like a good idea to just do it from my phone since I don't have a desktop computer and rarely use my laptop, but it has always resulted in being much more trouble than it needs to be. The this app usually never arrives and then 24-48 HOURS later I'll get a message that an error occurred. The second issue I've had is that I have to open and wait for EACH this app to COMPLETELY load before I can delete, otherwise it just pops back up again later. Usually I have a good enough internet connection that I will just power through it but during xmas season I get bombarded with dozens of ads a day from every company I've ever purchased from and I've finally decided to give up and just use separate apps for each this app. Although that brings up another thing that annoyed me on occasion, not being able to see which this app address something was sent to. I have 3 and so I need to know where to find a specific this app sometimes.

I have two separate this app apps: Gmail for my personal this app, and Outlook for my Office 365 school this app account. I wanted an this app app like this one that can combine multiple accounts in one app while keeping the simplicity of good organization and useful features. While Email accomplishes this with my Gmail, I can’t view any emails from my school account. I was able to add the account, but it’s as if my inbox is completely empty. I even tried going to the “other” section like it suggests if my inbox is empty. I know I have at least 100 emails, maybe more, on my school account inbox so I know it definitely shouldn’t seem empty. I tried deleting the account and re-adding it the first time, and when that didn’t work I deleted Email and re-downloaded it. I tried to log into my school account first as my primary/default this app, but that still doesn’t work. I’d really like this to use Email because of all the great reviews and features it offers but unfortunately if I can’t add my school this app, I’ll still need two separate this app apps which is not my goal as there is no point in me switching apps for just one this app. Perhaps there is a solution to why it’s not working, but I can’t figure it out. So three stars for now until it can work with my other this app.

by Edk012

Using multiple accounts and it seems to be working very well. Really like the UI for Email the best out of all the others I’ve tried besides Inbox from Google. Nice job! My only (very minor) gripe is the swiping doesn’t seem as smooth as other apps I’ve used. Find myself having to re-swipe more than I should.

The most noticeable gap in functionality relates to snoozing emails. There is no option to snooze to the weekend (Saturday at custom time). This is a must have item if I’m going to use this long term. It would also be nice to add custom snooze days of the week / times. I have some stuff I want to deal with on Saturday and some on Sunday and if I snooze all to Saturday then I have to move some to Sunday which is redundant work.

The only other piece I would really like to see is Reminders functionality like the Inbox app from Google. It basically creates an this app in your inbox that you can then snooze for later without having to send yourself an this app. this app templates wouldn’t be bad either, but lower on the list.

I have never left a review on Email Store, but within one hour I had to leave one for Email. I feel like a lot of times you come across an app or product that is just too good to be true. So here I was reading about Edison, Email that is booked at being the end all be all to productivity. An app that is fast, organizes your emails, let's you block mail from senders you don't won't, and to unsubscribe from those million websites you just subscribe to so you get that 10% off coupon. Here I am to say it's true, I had 34,000 emails on one of my accounts literally just from spam and the occasional bank this app I had forgot to switch over because of the junk mail. Key words forgot to switch. I was able to unsubscribe from every spam mail sent in a matter of seconds. What's next? Well I was able to click on one this app and then hit "we see you've unscubscribed from this sender would you like to delete all messages from them" HOLY CR@P" ARE YOU KIDDING?! this was not expected and was an absolute blessing. It also keeps track of your purchases and tracking information. All viewable in app. It let's you adjust the badge icon per category and per this app address. It seems infinitely customizable, but in all the good ways. So to whomever is reading this I strongly encourage you to download Email and literally let it change your life. It's that good.

WOW I have never had an app that has been able to connect my school account. This is amazing. I am so thrilled and I added 6 other this app accounts that worked perfectly! It is always updating so I have accurate precise emails that I can respond to at any time. Also, THE OTHERS FEATURE IS TREMENDOUS! I have been wanting to get rid of spam for YEARS and now it filters my spams and I can choose which emails go into my others folder. FANTASTIC! I also have multiple accounts from different companies WHICH CAN GO INTO Email AS WELL! I am so thrilled that I found Email and just WOW! If Email could get an 100/5 I would give it that because Email IS THE BEST MAIL APP EVER. I was using mail before and I would get emails hours after they would sent. BUT NOW IF I GET AN this app, I GET IT RIGHT AWAY. ADDITIONALLY, I CAN UNSUBSCRIBE FROM SPAM WITH EASE!!!!! I am just so happy right now and I would really like to thank the developers for creating a masterpiece. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!

I’ve tried and used a number of this app apps over the years - Google for iPhone, Apple’s Mail, etc - and Edison is the clear winner! It handles all the basic functionality of any good this app app, but the expanded features and layout simplicity are where Email really shines for me.
Expanded features: automatic tracking of packages and deliveries - no fumbling through multiple screens and apps to check delivery status; automatic population of financial and banking emails; the ability to create multiple signatures for different accounts; independent color coding of different accounts; and so much more!
The UI and screen layout are by far my most favorite aspect of Email: Google for iPhone seems undercooked, Mail by Apple lacks ultimate customization, but Edison nails the balance of layout and customization. Clicking between views (day/week/month) is simple and logically laid out, and the design takes maximum advantage of the screen. It can also be further tweaked to your liking, set it and forget it.
This may sound like a bit of a fanboy review, but with all the half-baked this app apps out there, it’s such a relief to find something that just WORKS. And works the way I want, without a lot of fumbling around. Add in the additional performance features, and you’ve just found the end of the line for your this app needs. 🙏🏻👍🏻

Email is my favorite mail app for the iPhone. With multiple this app addresses, sometimes it’s hard keeping everything organized. I’m picky about which accounts I want notifications for, and which accounts I want to reply for. Email gives so much freedom in choosing how you want things, all the way down to the swiping options. If you like to swipe left to delete things... you can. If you prefer to swipe right to delete, you can! It’s up to you. It’s definitely the most customizable mail app I’ve seen on the iPhone. Choose which account should get badge counts. The assistant even give package tracking updates so you don’t even have to search for shipping emails. So many cool features... And then if you need help or have a suggestion, the team does an amazing job at actually reviewing your feedback/concerns and getting back to you. Email is an essential. You can go ahead and get rid of the iOS default mail app right now.

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but great apps deserve recognition.

Since the beginning of this app, all services have been lacking something intuitive and beautifully done. From Gmail to yahoo, iCloud to hotmail, et al, we’ve all been inundated by spam, thousands of subscription leads, and various unsolicited emails, along with a lack of management ease.

Then came along Edison. It’s like a think tank of everyday users came together to innumerate the many pitfalls of this app services and clients like Outlook, then tackled each one to create an app that fixes all the problems perfectly. Management has never been easier, nor has the added security (facial recognition in iOS) ever been greater.

My recommendation: download and install. You’ll never go back to Airmail or Outlook or what have you, and you’ll really consider paying for the service as well! (Although the free version is more than enough to keep you happy!)

I won’t take a star away from Email for the lack of a desktop version because that’s not what Email offers not claims to be. But in the future? I think there’s a great opportunity to corner the market. I know I’d definitely take advantage of the program if it ever becomes available.

Update: unfortunately I am working with a Windows system, so I eagerly await the day you bless us with a Windows version — even the Beta test!! :)))

I’ve tried tons of this app apps (Apple’s Mail, Gmail, Outlook, Spark, and Astro just to name a few) and Edison beats them all. It has the all inboxes feature, so I can view all of my emails across all my accounts in the order that they come in. The assistant pulls tracking numbers from emails so you can view tracking info on packages without having to search to find the message. Email even notifies you when a package has been delivered. Customizable signatures per account, customizable notifications, and even a feature that allows you to cancel sending an this app for those times you realize as you hit “send” that’s it’s to the wrong person! I have a personal this app, university this app, work this app, and an this app for my photography side gig (hosted through all different providers- Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, and Zoho Mail) and Email handles them all flawlessly. The only complaint I have is that they don’t have an app for Mac- yet!

by SinaGamer55

Edison this app is simply great. The most important thing for me in an this app app was notifications.
I wanted to get notified of my emails asap, and Email delivers this app notifications super fast!
Email itself is fast and responsive and does the operations correctly. You can customize everything through the Settings which is great.
I use it on an 9.7-inch iPad.
It has some issues though. My iOS version is 12.4 so maybe that’s the problem. For example:
The left part of the status bar (I mean time and date) moves to center when you press the three line button (the one which lets you choose inboxes) which is ok, but when I press the button again it doesn’t move back to its place and makes the status bar somehow weird.
Or most of the times when I press the this app notification to open it in Email , Email loading (launch screen) freezes for a few seconds and then Email will crash (gets out of it).
It would be great if the developers could fix these bugs.
And my feature request is to add a loading progress bar under “checking for mail” so you could be aware if the messages are loading or not.
Other than that, Email has room for improvements and could be better by making the UI design even better or by adding more useful features.
And also, thank you developers for giving out weekly (or even daily!) updates and adding people’s feature requests to your app!

by Steve11993

Simply put, Email is fantastic. It is easy to use, set up, and customize. The ability to enable/require Touch ID to access your this app seems simple, yet it is a very nice extra feature for added security.

The ability to see all this app in one inbox, and color coat them, makes it easy to manage multiple this app addresses from one location.

I originally downloaded Email because I wanted something different than the standard Apple mail app. One of the features that stood out to me that made me choose this one was the ability to block senders with a tap of a button. Email made it very easy to simply click “block” and all future this app from that specific sending address would be sent to the deleted items folder.

While a nice feature, an even better feature is the ability to block the entire domain. The users asked for this in a feature request, and in one of the more recent updates you now have the ability to first block a sender, and then choose if you want to block the entire domain. THANK YOU! This again is a small, yet very powerful, feature.

To improve upon this once again, I’d ask if we can have the ability to add domains to the blocked list manually (as opposed to waiting for an this app to be sent from someone, and then block them).

This is an excellent app! I’ve been using it for about 9 months now and have not had any issues; I look forward to seeing it get even better!

by MrsEwyator

I have inattentive ADD and so I really need apps to be clean, clear, and minimal. I use the free version for my personal this app, and though there is a paid version, I really appreciate not having pop ups promoting their subscription or options that I can see, but can’t click or use because it’s only there to show me what I’m missing out on because I don’t have the subscription.

I just really appreciate that my ADD brain isn’t seized up by unnecessary visuals and bells/whistles. Email has even helped me get rid of emails that really are harmful for me - the “ACT NOW! 50% OFF SALE!” promotional emails that take a lot of willpower for me to ignore. The focus inbox and “other” is the only focused inbox that does not make me nervous that I’m missing an important this app somewhere.

I don’t know tech, design, or how this app works beyond trash, forward, and reply ... but I know intuitively Email helps make this app efficient use of my time, energy, and most importantly (for me) my all in ADD brain attention.

by Raceeddavid

This beautiful app runs and feels just how Apple’s native mail app should. There are plenty of ways to tailor Email ’s many features to your custom and changing needs. Every day interactions with Email , such as marking emails as read and managing subscriptions, are simple and effective. As far as advanced mail management goes, well, I’d much rather take care of that on my laptop anyway. Email is plenty useful and powerful for a mobile this app app.

My only feature request would be to navigate through contacts and senders similar to instagram. We scroll through our inbox much like an ig feed but if we want to view emails only from one specific sender, we have to search them rather than just being able to click on their “profile” and view all their emails to me. This would help me out because my work sends me my schedules from one specific account and I’d like to view them in a way that’s easier than having to flag every schedule this app and crowd my flagged section or search their name and consequently see emails with similar search terms as well.

The original mail app that comes default on the iPhone I’ve never really liked in the many years I’ve owned an iPhone. It always seemed like something would glitch or I wouldn’t get emails, but if I logged into my account from the browser they show. I never found what the issue was even uninstalling and reinstalling. So, I went to Email Store and started looking for a new this app app. Edison had a lot of great reviews so I thought I’d give it a go.

It’s been quite some time now (over a year) that I’ve had Edison and I really love it. I would recommend this this app app. There’s many options available to you that are customizable. Personally, I really like I can swipe the little blue dot away to quickly mark the mail as read, typically those I go back to after I’m done with more important emails. Also, Edison let’s you tell them if you wish to not receive emails from certain senders. Like ones you forgot about signing for a newsletter or what ever it may be. Some still filter through but 9/10 I don’t get them anymore. Overall I really love how simple it is, there’s no complicating ways to do this or that. It’s straightforward. Oh and they also look for cash back for you as well. :)

by Ksmith80209

Let’s be clear, this is a great app and one that could potential he be the one and only this app I have most people ever need. The unsubscribed functionality is fantastic, there are many customizations available, and overall it just looks fantastic. But unfortunately, it’s got a fatal flaw – the updating of badges. I frequently live on the “unread“ section of an this app out, focusing primarily on things that I haven’t yet read. Edison offers an unread section, good so far (although I’d rather have faster access to unread items), But it seems to be a bit flaky. For example, if I have 10 unread emails, before Email is open i’ll see a little tan on the icon just as it should be. If I didn’t go and read a couple of those items and come back to look at Email icon it might show four, six, maybe 10 again. Who knows? It seems random. You might seem like a small issue, but it’s a little bit frustrating. I rely on a badge to know how many unread items I have and not to serve as a random number generator. Fix this, and I’m all in.

by Fivestarsue

My phone and iPad crashed...long story...so I’ve spent the past three days trying to recover and reboot and, well, you can imagine. I’ve used Outlook for years to organize three fairly active this app accounts I had, but it had started to glitch on me, especially after the last update. When I reinstalled it and tried to add a fourth this app, it just froze. I spent a stubborn day trying to make it work finally deleting Email and thinking to reload it, when I thought, hmmm, I wonder if there’s something easier. I read the reviews on Edison, hit the GET button, and it literally took me FIFTEEN MINUTES TOPS! It tracks my incoming and outgoing packages separately, WITH PICTURES! I have a very small eBay business, so this is fabulous! You can set slide right, slide left to trash, or file, or whatever you want! And, it came preloaded with files that had perfect names to sync with my files. Email is so intuitive and all of your response-to-clients are super nice!

I predict that if your crew is just as keen on the creative side long-term, your company will do very well. In the meantime, I’m loving this this app organizing app. One thing: the graphic and color on Email need to stand out more, or add a logo or something on the envelope to delineate it from Outlook. Side-by-side they’re very very similar. You’re special, so stand out!

by BDD3

I’ve used them all. this app by Edison feels like home.

It’s super clean and easy. Did I mention fast? Everyone claims it’s fast, and I think the claim is correct. A full page of this app literally loads as fast as you tap.

Love the ability to swipe messages to the trash so effortlessly. The ability to program your swipes is a super nice feature.

Also, I’ve never seen a security feature on an this app app, but the program apparently scans this app addresses for potential security breaches. On my first day, I literally found a friend who’s this app had been breached. Wow, how cool is that!

I’ve easily unsubscribed to annoying emails which makes me happy 😊! It just takes one click to do it. Simple!

The Assistant section is amazing. It’s like a special treatment I am not even used to - like being on an airplane, and waking up in first class! Basically, this section automatically filters all your this app into useful groups - bills, subscriptions, travel, etc. I haven’t used this much, because it’s just my first day with Email , but at first glance it’s very impressive.

The user interface is clean, functional, with a simple elegance.

I am so happy I switched! This is a great app with lots of customization and functionality. I don’t write many reviews, but the Edison this app app team deserves the proper credit. Well done! The best I used!

Bottom line - try it for sure!
