Mailbox App – Hands on Review
I got to download the much-hyped Mailbox app the day it was released. I’ve been out of town for the last week, so the app has been my main way to process e-mail. For those who don’t know, this is a free iPhone-only app that works with Gmail (and Google Apps) to help you get to Inbox Zero. The app helps swimmingly with that goal. But can it replace the default iPhone Mail app?
What I Like about Mailbox
Swipe Gestures
If you love swipe gestures, you will love Mailbox. That is the whole premise behind the app. With one swipe you can delete or archive an entire e-mail thread. But you can also perform several Mailbox-only functions. You can add e-mails to a list, or have them magically reappear in your inbox at a designated time or on a certain day.
Smooth Design
This app is sleek. It looks good when you’re using the inbox, and the swipe gestures all work well. Even the compose menu has a nice look to it.
What I Don’t Like About Mailbox
Unfortunately, some glaring issues with the app keep me coming back to the default Apple inbox. First of all, there is no landscape mode. If I have to type a long e-mail on my iPhone, landscape mode is a must. Second, there is no access to non-contact e-mails. In other words, the auto-fill feature that Apple uses in its default mailbox does not exist in the Mailbox app. I use this feature pretty regularly, so it’s a dealbreaker for me.
Absent those two issues, I would continue using the app. But you should be aware of a few other issues. The app defaults to a new e-mail signature with a reference to the app in it. Also, you cannot use your existing Gmail labels. But there was some concern in Karin’s post about the labels. The labels exist when you go to Gmail. They’re just nested under the “[Mailbox]” label. You can create labels in Gmail and they appear in the app.
Finally, there is a delay in receiving the e-mails. When you open the app it has to download the messages. It does not download the messages in the background.
