Polymail - modern email-client for the Mac, which has something to surprise you

Niche mail application is in constant motion: closed popular designs, they were replaced by new ones. We closely follow the ambitious newcomers, and today we want to talk about this, who managed to surprise us. Meet - Polymail.

In him fall in love almost immediately, because one by one, you recognize your favorite pieces from different e-mail applications and services. Deferred messages Mailbox, Gmail labels, social filters Inbox, recognizable material design. But at the same time the collective image of the ideal email client and spiced own very popular and necessary chips.

Polymail supports all popular services, including Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo and regular IMAP. In the interface there are no surprises: the panel with accounts and labels, the message list and preview - all in their usual places, where it should be. There is, however, an interesting interactive panel which is activated when necessary by using the icons in the upper right corner, but we'll talk about it separately. In the settings you can turn on compact mode, hiding the contacts avatars.

Interact with the letters we can in two ways: by means of gestures and swipe the toolbar. Both thought out and well implemented. Gestures let you send a message to the archive, delete or defer it. toolbar opens has a lot more features. In addition to these three steps, you can also return the letter back to the Inbox, or move in any of the folders to postpone it to a specified period of time (hello, Mailbox), mark it as unread, and most interesting, unsubscribe from mailings. Last impressed me the most. With Polymail not need to look for hidden letters in the depths of the Unsubscribe cherished, simply press the corresponding button on the panel, and the application then opens in a browser form replies.

With regard to the message editor, there is still minimalistic, very much so. You can detach from the main editor window for the convenience of working with a few letters, choose one of the signatures or the account you want, attach a file. Separate panel format not, it appears when you select text. Among the other interesting features of the editor it is impossible not to mention the delayed sending mail. The function will be very useful to all those who communicate with colleagues in different parts of the world. The message can make in advance and schedule sending the right time using the Send Later button. Moreover, the letter sent to you by mistake can be undone in a few seconds.

And finally the most delicious - activity tracking. Polymail without any tricks can monitor the status of your messages, displaying the time of delivery and reading of recipient (if the recipient were a few). Turns on this cool feature that same button in the upper right corner, to which I referred at the beginning. It opens the fourth panel, where all this information is concentrated. In addition to the status, there appears in general all your correspondence with the specific contact and attachment list. Business users should appreciate.

About settings separately makes no sense to tell, everything is simple and transparent. Adding accounts, signatures editor, notification display option shortcuts. Options are not many, but there is everything you need, and the rest is conveniently configured by default.

Impressions from Polymail opportunities remain very positive. We get the ease and functionality of the Mailbox, multiplied by the possibility of popular e-mail applications, and in addition - their own exclusive pieces. If you really miss Mailbox - and it finally closed in late February - then I highly recommend you try Polymail. I can say that you will not be disappointed with a high probability.
