Hello from Berlin! 👋  Firstly, a huge thank you to Ton (@t55) for hunting us. It was 2 years ago when we first introduced Mailbutler, a lightweight plugin for Apple Mail that brings an extensive range of productivity-boosting features. We're grateful to have helped over 100k users to leverage their every day productivity on Apple Mail. At the same time we saw a problem with the growing number of Gmail plugins on the market each offering different and complex functions: they work, but they don't necessarily work together. This is exactly why we've decided to bring the simplicity of Mailbutler to a second platform. Our team worked really hard over the past few months to perfect your experience with Mailbutler, and today we're excited to share with you our biggest update so far: the new Mailbutler is now fully ready for both Apple Mail AND Gmail, with new and improved features. Please leave us any comments, suggestions, or feedback - hearing from you is how we get better. 🙏 Thank you for checking us out, we hope you enjoy your freshly charged inbox! Cheers, Fabian and the Mailbutler team

wish I could just pay for it once.. but awesome program that has become a staple on my mail client. I've told all my friends about it.

Pros:

Smooth, lightweight, convenient and very unintrusive

Cons:

subscription

As a subscriber of the service I was eager to try the new Mailbutler version. Mailbutler is probably one the few utilities I use on a regular basis the whole day, and it's a valuable companion for my project management job.

However, I found the newer 2.0 version to be extremely unstable and buggy, so much that I had to reinstall the previous Mac plugin.

Moreover, some of the functionalities it was once possible to disable (like displaying thumbnail pictures on the email list or getting rid of the menu icon) are currently there to stay.

I already emailed the company, hopefully they'll come back soon.

For now my suggestion is: use the gmail extension or remain to the old Mac plugin.

Pros:

complete, clever, integrated

Cons:

buggy

Mailbutler makes Apple Mail usable! It's impossible for me to imagine what life was like pre-Mailbutler. Now adding support for Gmail completes the product for me (Although I only occasionally use Gmail to send/receive emails). Send later is a great feature when you want to write a bunch of emails on Sunday night but don't want to look like a creepy stalker. You just set it to send at 7:45 on Monday morning. ;-) The ability to unsend a message, a 10 second delay after you hit 'send,' has proved invaluable for me. Sure, we've had that feature for years on Gmail but not on Apple Mail which is the client I prefer to manage my Gmail and other email accounts from. Sometimes you don't know if you have the correct email address. It's why tracking is a such a key feature. You know when your email was opened. How about that email that requires action but you can't get to it right away. Snooze it for an hour or two and then it's back on top of your email feed. Congrats on Mailbutler 2.0!

Hey guys! Great work! I enjoy using the freemium. However, the subscription model for an add-on doesnt really makes sense.

I'm using it since few months and I like it, I'm paying it but since upgrade to version 2, I'm paying for nothing because my datas are on old version, can you transfert it so I can enjoy email traking again ?

Thanks

Pros:

clever, integrated

Cons:

buggy ?

Pretty cool update to the impressive Apple Mail add-on Mailbutler, that adds all sorts of handy new features to Apple's default Mail client.

Awesome product, I've been using the new beta since it launched and I can only recommend it. Well done!

changed my way of using email

Pros:

unsend, email opened

Cons:

none

as a mac user myself, i never understand why would people pay money to upgrade apple native apps while there are so many free tools around? how will it make apple's native mail app better then, say, Spark mail?

How does this compare to MixMax for a Gmail user?

I've been using a prior version of MailButler for several months now and I love the features it adds to Apple Mail. I'm excited to try version 2.0! Read receipts alone make it totally worth it.

I use and love Mixmax, which I think does everything listed for Mailbutler, and thensome. Any counterpoint?

I like Mailbutler v1.x very much.

Mailbutler 2.x should be taken back to the repo for now.

Scheduling a delayed email does not work. The scheduling alone takes 20 seconds and always ends with a SOAP error:

Don't be fooled by the schedule message, it does not work.

Also "unschedule and edit" takes another 20 seconds.

I hate that now everything is in the cloud for Apple Mail even the settings. I get that it makes sense because of their plans, but I for example have zero interest in tracking (I don't want any communication with their servers) or cross platform usage.

The delay sent now is an Apple OS notification and is lacking the additional info with recipients and sender. This is vital for me as I use multiple email accounts.

I have downgraded for now and am enduring that Mailbutler 1.x fails to recongnise my purchase which is just ... 🧐

Talking to support was fruitless.

What a disappointment.

My advice. Stay on version 1.x for now.

Pros:

Compared to version 1 SASS structure I guess

Cons:

Buggy

As a lifetime member and business plan subscriber,I really enjoy the concept, its surely one of a kind! There are a few things I would like to point out. The newer Beta 2.1 works better than the original version 2.1, not sure how that makes any sense. The "show contact information" button is great now because I can have my mac mail open as well as automatically have the "mcard" or Contact information window constantly open. I don't understand why I have to click on the contact information tab then CLICK AGAIN on the smaller grey triangle to the left of the name to get their info. I should be able to click the "view contact information" tab and VIEW THE INFO (like on the older version) not have to click again. Also, why is the contact info highlighted in RED? That would make it seem as if there is something wrong. I would suggest highlighting it in the company teal green. Email tracking is great, when it works. with 2.0, I send out emails, then when i go to my sent tab and click on an email i sent, I get a notification that the RECIPIENT opened the email. UMMM no, I just did so why is it telling me that the recipient did. Are we able to go back to the original MailButler until this is fixed? Suggestions: Mail Merge option- that would seal the deal!

The main reason I use Mailbutler is for saving emails to Evernote. This features is either missing in v2.0 or undocumented.

I reverted to v1.0 and am waiting for v2.0 to be ready for prime time.

Pros:

Added some new features and upgrades

Cons:

Buggy, certain features missing, documentation is based on old product.

I loved the email pause feature and sadly it has been removed. More importantly, the security issues introduced in v2 are a deal-breaker for me. If the makers are reading this, is there a way to still subscribe and use the old version? I deleted my account yesterday, but would start a paid subscription if I can still use the previous version.

Pros:

None for me at this time

Cons:

Security issues, removed useful features

Installation with DayLite Installed results in mail crash and inability to access the mail preferences. Works fine in the old version.

Pros:

New Features

Cons:

Incompatible with DayLite Mail Plugin

Looks like a nice product. Any idea if this fixes one problem I have with Apple Mail on my Mac? I archive all my messages and there‘s starred messages which show up normally in Gmail, but they won‘t appear in Apple Mail, because they‘re not in my inbox anymore. If Mailbutler makes all my starred messages show up again, I‘d be so freaking happy.

Airmail Integration on the roadmap?
