Mailbutler GmbH
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.

If you manage multiple inboxes like I do for clients, it makes toggling back and forth between them super easy. No need to have multiple Chrome windows open for different accounts, it's all in one place. Manage each of their apps in each siloed workspace. I was tired of flipping back and forth between Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, and more. Shift solved that issue.

Cons
Mailbutler GmbH
  • 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.

  • Every once in awhile it can be a bit slow.
  • Once in a while if I am using Shift on my monitor screen and I close my laptop, next time I use my laptop with no monitor I can't get Shift to come up again. I can only get the window back when I plug back into my monitor. Super annoying for something that I pay for.
  • It doesn't always keep you logged in to each platform you have installed. I suppose this keeps things secure - but I wish it just stayed log in to everything.

Support is generally very good. Occasionally the response time is a bit slower than I'd like.

It is simple and has exactly what I need. If they worked out a few minor bugs, I think it would be perfect.

Alternatives Considered
Mailbutler GmbH
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.

I wouldn't say I liked the user experience and the difficulty in configuration. I generally like to keep my UX and UI as consistent as possible, and Shift does that. Moreover, I wanted to save all my Gmail labels and have their catalog precisely as on the Gmail website. Thunderbird for Mac is a bit tacky.

Return on Investment
Mailbutler GmbH
  • 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!
