Likelihood to Recommend Mailbutler is well suited to people who predominantly use their Mac for email. It adds a rich feature set to macOS Mail's native features. Mailbutler is less useful to people who frequently process email on iOS/iPadOS. Only a limited subset of Mailbutler's functionality is available on iOS/iPadOS as Apple doesn't currently provide a way for third parties to extend the iOS/iPadOS Mail app.
Read full review Mailtrack is great for tracking emails if you do not want to pay for larger more complicated tools that do the same thing. If you already love your system but just want to add some convenient read tracking, that's exactly what this is for. If you have a system that doesn't work well, I would take the time to evaluate alternatives that also include read tracking (Salesforce for example). This also applies if you're trying to use this for large outbound sales emails - there are a lot of applications that have email tracking built in (Outreach.io is a great example) so it may just be worth switching your whole system.
Read full review Pros Snoozing emails for later response or followup Reminding me to add attachments Allowing time for me to cancel sending an email Read full review Immediately you will be notified once any user accesses the email. There is no delay. We have crossed checked and it works awesome. The Mailtrack extension is easy to use. Setting up an account and getting started is smooth and fast. Free version includes unlimited email tracking, this is fab. Read full review Cons Mailbutler occasionally conflicts with other macOS Mail plug-ins. Though, in most (if not all) cases the issue tends to be with other plugins. The Mail app for iOS/iPadOS doesn't support plugins, making it necessary to use Mailbutler's own app to access a limited subset of the functionality on macOS/iPadOS. Read full review Some of the settings can be confusing at first. Some alerts are on by default and can be annoying at times. Good to know if the email was deleted. It would be great to know how much time recipients spent on each email. Read full review Usability I would rate Mailtrack's overall usability as a ten out of ten. The reasons for this are actually quite simple. For now, only I have been using Mailtrack. However, looking at the rather easy to use characteristics Mailtrack has to offer, I would not hesitate to recommend it to the rest of my colleagues.
Read full review Support Rating Support is generally very good. Occasionally the response time is a bit slower than I'd like.
Read full review I didn't really need to use the customer support but the fact that they proactively make the installation process so easy by providing step by step instructions with videos and everything is kind of pro-active customer support that is needed. Good for them because at the end of the day, it's everyone's dream to use a product that they don't need support for.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I'm not aware of any other products that provide the same functionality within the macOS Mail client. There are some third-party email apps for macOS and iOS/iPadOS that have some of Mailbutler's features, but my preference is to stay with Apple's Mail client, partially for security reasons.
Read full review There's a free tier. Obviously, there are other things to love, like notifications about your email being read, the fact that if an email hasn't been responded to in some time it gets bumped up. The fact that if other people have Mailtrack you will actually get notified who read your email. But the fact that there is a free tier is HUGE.
Read full review Return on Investment Mailbutler's effect for me personally is unquantifiable - but it really helps me stay on top of the myriad emails that pass through my inbox each day. I would imagine that across a larger organization, Mailbutler's impact on overall productivity has the potential to be immense! Read full review I'm currently using the free version so my investment was time spent downloading the browser extension. I would say it's worth the investment because I can make more value through each email by finding the right time to send replies or know when is the exact time I should follow up. Knowing when an email is read multiple times helps me know the importance of the content in my email. The paid version allows Mailtrack to tell you which recipient read the email if there was more than 1. Read full review ScreenShots
