email applications there are tons to choose from and obviously we know the big ones like apple mail
outlook and gmail as basic alternatives today i wanted to focus in on some third-party email apps
that i think are pretty useful for organizing your day and taking email a little bit further if
that's something you're looking for welcome everyone my name is francesco and in today's video
we're going to be diving into those email apps but if you like productivity tools you can subscribe
to keep productive it'd be great to have you here and we also have a brand new course out called the
bento methodology if you're fancy checking it out below so i've basically ranked a few of these um
based on what my opinions are on the space i've picked five categories all-rounders premium
productivity secure and collaborative i feel like these tend to fix a lot of the things that people
want in an email applications at third party so let's start with all rounders now there
are some fantastic email applications out there and as an all-rounder application i did look at
price compared to the experience you get and the general application at the end of it and
to my conclusion i feel like the best round all-rounder is sparkmail mainly
because it's available on a wide variety of devices it has some fantastic pricing models
in particular you can upgrade when you've got want team access but largely the account is low priced
but also really reliable fast and has some great features so spark mail goes as my best all-rounder
next up the category is best premium experience and there are a lot of more premium applications
out there there are ones pricing from 49 all the way to a lot more 30 per month and i'm actually
going to go with the best premium one as a superhuman i've been using it for now three months
and i've been very impressed i was really solidly stuck on an application called tempo 2. i really
loved it but sadly like many email applications they went under but i moved to superhuman
probably wouldn't have if tempo 2 was still around i really got on with that application but i'm very
impressed with the premium experience that they have in terms of managing your email reliability
and the way that they set things up obviously for many people this category is not suitable
thirty dollars a month is expensive but if you can correlate it to say how much you earn and
maybe you're a freelancer or you work in sales and your company is willing to expend it that might be
something that could be quite cost effective so the next category is best productivity and you're
probably wondering all of these are productivity francesco and what i mean by best productivity as
a category is the fact that it's designed around a productivity system or sort of structured
like it tempo 2 was such a good application at this honestly i'm getting flashbacks but tempo
i've got it in the mind now but best productivity categories uh for me are ones that really hone in
on a system or at least a structure to your email experience and there's actually a few of these
not many but a few and the one i typically recommend if somebody wants a bit of structure is
hey.com it's a really beautifully designed email application a bit colorful but it has a system
around it for organizing your work in inbox and also ways to process your inbox that allows you to
get better and sort of focus on work and you also get a custom domain as well a hey.com email and i
think it's fairly reasonably priced at 99 per year which is sort of medium ground pricing these days
with the productivity market so next category is best security email app and this probably just
only goes to this application protonmail it's been around for ages and it's based in switzerland and
their primary focus is the best secure email application and they really do focus on the
encryption side of stuff and really trying to make sure that the email is really tight and secure
and i always see this in films weirdly i think there's about two or three films i most recently
saw it in a film called sound of metal in the film sound of metal he opened up a protonmail
account and i was like that meme that um leonardo capro meme going like that i know that one so yeah
protonmail i would recommend as a secure email application if that's what you're looking for now
next up is best collaborative now collaborative email is great for personal assistants working
in teams and being able to share your email with others so that they can interact with it and there
are specific apps that are good at this like front for example is a really well-known app in
the market that allows you to collaborate and work on an email much more for support and management
but if you are looking for one that is more for sharing with your team or delegating emails
there's one that i used beforehand called missive i never actually use the collaborative functions
but i've played around with them lightly and they're very impressive it's well worth checking
out as a alternative if you're looking to share it with other people so there are my five categories
for email and my five recommendations obviously there's tons of email apps out there i've also got
a feature coming up very soon called ranking email applications which i will give you my opinion on
all of the email market and which ones i think get rated best thank you very much folks and i really
hope you enjoyed this feature today if you're new here please do subscribe it'd be amazing to
