Easymail: Mail as a Chat

Free, with no ads. Read the email you already have as a chat, with people first and newsletters set aside in "All mail". Works with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and more.

Easymail shows your email as a chat. Each thread is a single conversation, with every message in its own bubble and the newest at the bottom. Quoted text and signatures fold away on their own, leaving just the message. To reply, type at the bottom of the screen and hit send.

USE THE MAILBOX YOU ALREADY HAVE Easymail works with Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, iCloud, and almost any other email provider. You keep your email address, and there's no Easymail account to create. Just sign in, and your mail is there. Got more than one mailbox? See them all together in one list, or one at a time.

FREE, WITH NO ADS Easymail is free and shows no ads. Usage statistics tell us where the app gets stuck, but they never include anything from your mail. They're only sent if you agree, and you can turn them off in Settings.

EVERY PERSON, ONE ROW Easymail gathers all of a person's emails into one row, like a chat list. Tap a name to find all your emails with them, listed by subject, and search just those. Emails you exchange with several people at once become a group, with one row for all of them. Prefer one row per conversation? Choose it in Settings.

PEOPLE FIRST "People" shows only the people who really write to you. Newsletters, receipts, and automated messages stay in "All mail". When you open a newsletter, Easymail asks if you want to unsubscribe. One tap opens the sender's page so you can confirm.

MAKE IT YOURS Choose from fourteen colors for your bubbles, and put a photo of your own behind your chats, even a different one for each person. Text comes in five sizes, and the app goes dark when your iPhone does.

WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO • Save contacts and set up groups with their own To, Cc, and Bcc. When you write, one tap on a group fills in all three lines. • Tap the subject at the top of a conversation for its summary: who wrote, the first and the last message, and every attachment. • Swipe right to archive a conversation, or left to move it to the trash. Press and hold to select more than one. • Search your whole mailbox or filter it to show unread emails, favorites, messages with attachments, conversations you've written in, or a date range. • Attach photos straight from your photo library. • Select and copy just the part of a message you need. • New mail shows up in your notifications.

YOUR MAIL STAYS YOURS Nobody at Easymail ever reads your mail. The app talks directly to Google, Microsoft, or your email provider, always over an encrypted connection. Your mail travels between your phone and your provider without passing through any Easymail server. The only copy the app keeps is on your phone, and it's deleted when you sign out.
