Making Use of the Mailbox App

Do you groan (audibly or mentally) at the thought of checking your emails every morning? Does the thought of scrolling through the list of emails and deciding what to do with each of them make you want to stall indefinitely?

If yes, and yes, try Mailbox.

Having gone live on App Store on February 7, the app has reinvented the email inbox, making it light, quick, and cellphone-friendly. Now you can trash or archive emails instantly, scan email conversations in a chat-like manner, and even ‘snooze’ mails—you know, those mails you’d rather not think about right now.

And, oh, you need to make reservations. Makers of the app say, since they want you to have a glitch-free experience, they will roll it out on a first-come first-serve basis. But this is not how it shall remain. They will increase the roll-out rate, so there would not be the need for reservations in future. Details on mailboxapp.com.
