Mailbutler Reviews

“Must-have for Apple mail”

Pros

A really valuable add-on for Apple Mail especially since the app is pretty limited on its own.

Cons

It definitely improves Apple Mail and makes it more usable. It's still not my preferred email client but if you rely on Apple Mail, this extension feels essential.

“It stopped doing its job”

Pros

It worked in the past but that's really the key point here, it used to function.

Cons

The biggest problem is that it simply can't do what it's supposed to do.

“Tracking feature stands out”

Pros

One of the best parts for me is the tracking feature. It keeps tabs on emails and the links inside them so I can tell exactly when an email was first opened and whether a link was clicked.

Cons

undo-send option is available but it didn't always work properly for me. That said, support responded quickly and was very helpful.

“Useful notifications”

Pros

Getting notified when someone opens my email is incredibly useful because it helps me follow up at the right time. For example, when I sent out a proposal, I could see it had been read right away which made my next step much more timely.

Cons

Tracking feature is really valuable but it's locked behind the paid plan so it may not be affordable for everyone.

“awesome mailbox tool”

Pros

It felt very natural because it works much like a standard mailbox tool, just with stronger added features. New users can pick it up quickly and the learning curve stays low because the workflow is user-friendly. It also works consistently across different operating systems which made it practical for supporting all kinds of users across our organization. The note-taking and note-tracking features were especially useful for our teams. Before using it some of our sales agents were far less confident about whether their emails had actually been delivered and opened and Mailbutler clearly improved that confidence once we introduced it.

Cons

There are still some gaps depending on the market or mailbox provider especially on the data and tracking side as well as a few other features. Since we work across multiple markets, that limitation meant we only chose to use Mailbutler in a couple of them out of all 16, mainly where we saw the strongest interaction levels and the most reliable performance.

“Superb email receipt tracking feature”

Pros

Email receipt tracking was the feature we relied on most and it ended up performing even better than we expected.

Cons

Nothing to complain about, it worked better than anticipated and gave us no issues.

“easy customization”

Pros

Everything is simple to use and adjust based on what I need.

Cons

The free plan gives access to only a limited number of features.

“Reliable tracking for follow-ups”

Pros

Email tracking is the biggest reason I rely on this software. Being able to see exactly when someone opens an email helps me choose the right moment to follow up. It has also been useful in situations with dishonest recipients who claim they never got my message and try to suggest I failed to send it.

Cons

iOS version doesn't support tracking which is actually the main reason I bought Mailbutler in the first place. When I need that feature, I have to wait until I'm back at my desktop to send an email I wrote on my phone and saved as a draft and that's really inefficient. I run a very small business by myself so the software feels expensive especially since about half of my emails are written on my phone. I subscribed right after the lifetime plan was discontinued and I've been asking Mailbutler to bring that option back.

“Constant updates”

Pros

I've been using this software for several years now and they keep rolling out new features from time to time. The email tracking is very detailed and I'm very happy with the product overall.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any downsides. I use it with Apple Mail and it works well.

“Ability to save notes”

Pros

Keeping tabs on emails and link clicks is really simple with it and it also makes follow-ups much simpler when someone hasn't replied. Being able to save notes from conversations in one place is very useful when I need to look back later. The contact feature also does a nice job of showing the history of communication and how people have interacted with my emails. One thing I'd love to see is that feature included in the lower-priced plans. I've also appreciated the improvements added over time since I started using it and the product continues to get better.

Cons

The one feature I still feel is lacking is a dashboard for tracking open rates or some kind of template analysis that would help show which messaging performs better than others.

“Smart scheduling and tracking”

Pros

Being able to track emails and schedule them has been really useful. I often write a lot of messages late at night but I don't want them going out at that hour. With recipient time suggestions, I can schedule emails to arrive when people are most likely to be active and I can also see when they open the email and click any links I've included.

Cons

Signature feature is limited since I use a custom HTML signature and that isn't supported. Looking at the features and ideas board, it seems this used to be available but was removed for some reason. It also feels a bit pricey for what's included although there really aren't many other alternatives offering the same kind of functionality.

“Impressive features”

Pros

After spending quite a bit of time with it, I'm still really impressed by how many useful features it packs in. It has noticeably improved the way I handle email, letting me take action right from my inbox and setting reminders for messages I don't want to miss. The interface is clear, user-friendly and simple to get around. I'd absolutely recommend Mailbutler.io to anyone who wants better control over their email management.

Cons

The contact management side could use some improvement.

“Emails on my schedule”

Pros

It lets me handle email replies according to my own timing and priorities which makes staying on top of messages a lot more manageable.

Cons

This isn't really on their side but when macOS rolls out updates, the app can end up limited or disrupted for a while.

“Essential add-on for handling emails”

Pros

This tool feels like an essential add-on for handling emails. With just one click, it gives a flawless view of email tracking. It's simple to use and comes with plenty of features that really matter.

Cons

A French-language version would be a very welcome addition. Integration with Microsoft Outlook could also be improved. It would also be appreciated if the Business plan were offered at a more affordable price for non-profit organizations.

“A polished boost for Apple Mail”

Pros

It adds both visual polish and practical features to Apple Mail which is already solid underneath but has definitely fallen behind some of the more forward-thinking alternatives.

Cons

The only thing missing is an iOS/iPadOS version which would make the workflow feel much more connected and smooth.

“Handy email templates”

Pros

The signature options and email templates have been really useful. I also rely on the email tracking because I need to know my messages are actually reaching the people I send them to. In the past, emails would sometimes get lost or land in junk folders so it matters to me to have confirmation that a client has seen my reply.

Cons

With the version I use, I still can't tell exactly which person opened an email when it's sent to several recipients. That being said, the mobile app does give me a little more detailed information.

“dependable mail tracking”

Pros

It keeps me up to date on all of my emails at all times. The interface is simple to use and the software has been very stable.

Cons

I don't have any complaints right now. It has never crashed on me.

“Keeps getting better”

Pros

Running my business with the email system I already use has been much more practical thanks to this add-on. Features like send later and templates are absolutely essential for me and I really appreciate that the product keeps getting better over time.

Cons

when I schedule emails in advance, it occasionally freezes or fails to schedule them. That said, it doesn't seem to happen nearly as often anymore.

“Fantastic email tracking and mail notes”

Pros

More like a mail CRM, it comes with features like email tracking and mail notes. Those tools have been really useful and everything feels simple to use when it comes to those functions.

Cons

i haven't run into any issues at this point.

“quick unsubscribe convenience”

Pros

I can unsubscribe from any email service. That part is genuinely convenient and saves me time.

Cons

A few features can be a little tricky to locate at first. They are there and I'm able to find them but it sometimes takes a bit of digging around.
