User Reviews for OnMail - Fast & Simple Email

UPDATE For OnMail Users Only… Unless You Pay

With it’s first update, I sadly have to retract my original review and 4 stars of this app. They made adding additional accounts available but behind a paywall and needing to upgrade to premium to use the function. What a huge deal breaker, I had high expectations for this company but it’s sadly falling short. There’s also no easy setup of Apple Mail (you have to set up IMAP instead) like in their Edison app, you’re better off there for other accounts.INITIAL REVIEW: “I’ve been using OnMail for a while now and the service is great - I’m glad to finally see a native app for the service. Their new app’s interface and aesthetics are pleasing, but sadly you can’t add any other email account/server other than OnMail; even though they advertise the ability to do so. I was looking forward to replacing Apple’s dated Mail app. I hope the “add another account” feature becomes available in a future update. Nonetheless, if you’re an avid OnMail user, this app is great so far.”

Great Promise, but some updates needed.

First off, I think I love everything this app is trying to do, and I really want to like it, and use it exclusively. The problem I have is the split inbox, with no way to disable it and use just a single inbox view. While AI is good at discerning which email is important and which is not as sensitive, it is not perfect at this task, and I have been burned by it in the past, missing everything from electronic bills to my son’s school emailing to job application follow ups. Due to many of those sources using automated email sending apps and tools, it may seem like it is just an ad or something but it is important to me. I should be able to choose if I want to use a feature like that, not be forced to. If this ever gets resolved, I will give it another shot. Until then, I’ll be using Edison mail instead.

An email platform that’s different (in a good way)

Here’s what makes email in OnMail differentSplits: email can be “split” into different views and you can adjust notifications for each split. I now only get notifications for emails I receive into my primary.Done: email can be marked as done. And the way this is done in the app is really cool. Every email platform I’ve tried uses the swipe right / swipe left for actions. OnMail has that functionality but it also allows you to tap on a circle to the left of each email to mark it as done. For some reason, this is much easier for me and makes it easy to manage my emails. Other pros: got my own new email of just my name without having to get creative like I have to on Gmail platform. Dark mode is nice and interaction in the app is intuitive after you get the hang of it. Cons: free account allows only 3 accounts and paid account only allows 5. I have more than 5 accounts but I’m now rethinking which ones I really need. There are also some performance issues in the app that I noticed early on when using it a lot. Now that I’ve split up my inbox and am now more in maintenance mode, the issues aren’t as noticeable and I anticipate fixes are coming.

Very Simplified

This email service is very simplified, and allowed their users to take control of their own inbox. Personally, I love the “done” button. It feels so much more appropriate than “archive.” It’s satisfying to click the check mark, and your email isn’t completely deleted, so you can easily find it again.I also love the simple overview of any purchases and subscriptions OnMail sees in my inbox. It allows me to see all the information I want to see without having to read a very unappealing, cluttered email.I also love the split inbox feature. At some point, I will be switching this to my government email, so I can split my personal life with my military life. I can select only emails from the military to be in one inbox, and all of my civilian messages in another. If I wanted to get another job, I can split all the messages from that job too, it’s really nice.Overall a great service, and very simple. There’s not too much to it.The only thing I do not like is the inability to use the email account with 3rd party apps. I prefer Apple’s default Mail app at times, only because all of my email accounts are on it anyways, so it would be nice to have it all in one place. However, with that being said, OnMail’s app is still simple and easy to navigate, and it’s not nearly a big enough deal to give it any less than 5 stars!It does everything an email does right.

The best email experience I’ve found

This app isn’t perfect but after trying out many of the options available, like chuck, big mail, spark, Edison, etc. I’ve landed with OnMail and it’s drastically improved my email experience. I love the email previews view and ‘marking all as done’ in an inbox. I love that you can create multiple inbox’s based on how you want to organize your email. I’ve been using for a couple months now and I’ve been able to spend less time, stay organized and keep my inbox clean. It’s really powerful and none of the other options out there give you this great of an experience.My Wish List:I wish the mobile app let you switch OnMail accounts. (I now have two, one for work) on desktop it’s easy by clicking the user icon on the top.I wish typing emails was easier while using Grammarly. It’s not broken but it’s not as smooth as gmail.I wish I could turn off the accept contact feature, I thought I would like this but in the end I would turn off if I could. Emails that would end up in a low priority inbox get shown here because it’s a new contact.

Composing Emails

The mobile platform seems fairly intuitive and minimalistic. That’s great, but the bottom navigation bar is a bit small, which can make it difficult to slide between splits. Sometimes it triggers the phone’s app switch feature rather than sliding to a different split. My biggest issue that has kept me from using OnMail is composing emails. For some reason, when starting a new paragraph in an email, the auto-capitalization feature doesn’t work. Having to manually capitalize the beginning of a sentence is inconvenient and ends up forcing me to copy and paste emails into OnMail rather than just composing them within the app. Having the phone’s native typing features available seems like a fairly simple thing to add, and it’s hard to understand why it’s even disabled.Also, adding the “drag circle to mark as read” feature from Edison is sorely missing. It’s hard to use any email app that doesn’t have that feature at this point. Something similar to that would really upgrade OnMail.

Very promising

This app requires a different kind of review.The app was only recently released with only a relatively small team to maintain it. Taking all of this into consideration it is impressive and I left Google and Microsoft for it. I believe in this team. They will bring us something great in the future while Gmail and Outlook are only getting way too bloated.Suggestions:* Make sure that the features in the mobile version match those in the web version* Snooze emails* Ability to easily handle split inboxes in the app (especially creating/renaming a new inbox and sending emails to another inbox in an easy fashion)* Ability to rename the Other inbox* Ability to group a emails together and change the subject. Some people just have a bad habit of replying to an email with a new email without a subject. Or we receive emails with subjects that really do not clarify their content. This feature would enable us to add this “new” emails with different subjects to the original conversation and determine how we call this conversation (local change-our contacts would only see their own original subject)* Pull to refresh is not implemented or it doesn't work on my phone. It is a simple but necessary feature.* Polishing and speeding up things. Too many rough edges to mention them all in a short review. But this is to be expected and not something in the complain category with a young indie app like this.

Potential to go all the way when it works correctly

It looks cool and is pretty straightforward. It gives you a chance to knowingly use your habits to inform your inbox. But the app can’t consistently delete an email. About 90% of the time when I delete an email via the app, the email is still there the next time I open the app. This is not a problem, however, when I delete an email from the web browser, it always deletes. That inconsistency, to me, is a greater issue of reliability.Sometimes the system struggles to consistently move/align emails from the same senders into the same inboxes. And there’s no calendar integration or Mail app (iOS) integration.In all, I use OnMail as a backup account for emails I don’t want littering my primary email. I thought this would be a good replacement for Gmail, but I’m not yet convinced. Still someway to go before I would pay for their services or use OnMail as a primary email service.

Phenomenal with a few hiccups

I love Onmail as an email service and app, yet each iteration of it has places of needed alteration. The web app needs a united inbox view the most of anything. The mobile app needs an alternative option for viewing split inboxes, because if you have quite a few it becomes a massive scroll bar of tabs, which is stupid. It also needs a way to hide certain splits or even sub them into each other. The whole split inbox concept needs some touch up when used between multiple accounts. It also freezes anytime you add emails to a split. Also love to see a widget. I want Onmail to be my only mail app, but these issues are holding it back for now. Excited for when they don’t though.

The interface is confusing

I’m guessing I’m not in the target market for this service. I fail to understand why traversing the app is so convoluted and requires selecting obscure tabs like “other” when I didn’t setup other and I don’t know why some mail appears there and other mail is in Primary. Then there’s deleting mail, the single most used activity aside from reading. Delete is behind another menu selection and, although this may seem like a trivial complaint, it’s the thing I want to do the most. And then there’s the mail list view which gives me no idea what mail I have besides the first one on the list. I’m obviously missing something and I’m guessing there’s a rather nice manual out there which I could spend the time to read to get my email but there should be an option of making this more like regular email clients until I want to take the time to learn this app.
