Gmail vs MailBird Comparison

Gmail is so easy to use. Like a no brainer app you can use for personal or for business. I am using this with Mailbird mainly of the filtering reason since I feel it's a bit complicated to filter using Gmail alone.

I feel like I haven't maximize it yet but if I can create scheduled tasks and add them to my Google Calendar, it would be amazing. I feel like they could create more video instructions here.

I ke to see all my email in one place and see Facebook or Twitter at the same time

Sometimes doesn't always sync with my GMail

Easy to Use , Multiple account Feature , Support gmail.

Filter is not there which is required to sort emails

Better than outlook for use with Gmail and Hotmail.

Sometimes doesn't sync very well and requires retest of connection

It's Looks, ease of use, clean interface and all the integrations. It's customization and all the preferences you can tweak to your liking it's a plus.

Being a GSuite user, I'm heavy on tags and filters, didn't like how tags are integrated, didn't find it really useful for my taste. Besides that its pretty neat.

Closest thing to an official native desktop client for Gmail. Connects and syncs quickly and easily. Replicates most (nearly all, with a few exceptions) of Gmail's features, including shortcut keys. Simple, logical UI very similar to Gmail.

* Need support for other email clients so you can merge email. * If you accidentally move mail out of Sent Mail, you cannot move it back in (this is a bug and they know about it, but it has not been fixed). On Gmail, you cannot move mail out of Sent Mail, which is how Mailbird should behave. * There are minor UI quirks that should be addressed. For example, right-click does not always bring up the correct context menu (it will often bring up Print instead of Spelling, for example). * Doesn't support email sorting, the #1 gripe people have with Gmail. On Outlook, for example, you can sort your Gmail (but overall, Outlook is weak with Gmail).

Pro version allow to have more different accounts, navigation pane is easy to use, interface looking smart, good and professional. You can enable different built in add ins such a Twitter, todoist, calendar. Synchronization working fine with all type of accounts - icloud, gmail. Technical support is fast and very helpful. Excellent value for money.

"Directory" folder with contacts in Gmail cannot be synced in Mailbird. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Better overall look and feel, order and arrange email accounts, send email using gmail alias.

Multiple emails not supported in ad/free version.

There's so much great stuff about Mailbird. I use it for my Gmail account because I don't like the Gmail interface. The ability to snooze messages was a big draw, but I also love the design, the fact that it's customizable, the one-click search sender method, the shortcuts...

The only thing I don't like is when you search for something in your email, it's started taking you to the oldest messages first instead of the most recent.

Clean Design works well very useful. Works well for gmail as well as my own personal mail server

nothing really. Maybe having even more customization would be cool but thats not really a con for me

Mailbird has many features, and they all seem to work. In addition, the FAQs have some valuable information for connecting with webmail such as gmail.

The software is unable to display emails in ascending order according to date and time. Just as with webmail, Mailbird lists the most recent emails first. Customer Service never responded to my question about how to reverse the order.

I like that I can access several different sources from one, easy to use interface. Although it is packed with features, the UI is concise and not overly complicated.

Integration with MMS or SMS would really be the icing on the cake.

I love the unified account that allows me to view an inbox for all of my email accounts. The emails are then color coded so I know who it's being sent to. My other favorite feature is being able to click an email and have all emails from the same sender provided immediately in list format. This allows me to quickly empty my emails and overcome inbox overwhelm =)

There are no cons on this software that I have found personally. If I could request one feature, it would be to match the categorization of emails like you see in Gmail. At least provide the option to have your categories match how Gmail sorts them and/or provide a filtering option to either view or not view those emails in those categories such as newsletters, financial, etc.

Easy to use and integrates well with Gmail, Office 365, and just about any email account you would use. Very simple but powerful interface. Love that it has a 'Unified Account' where you can see emails from the accounts you choose, but still leave your 'spam' email account out (you get to choose which accounts show up there). Search seems to work really well, even better than Outlook with both gmail and Office 365 accounts.

They DO collect email addresses that you use Mailbird to check. I was surprised to get an email solicitation to purchase the business version to an account that I had set up but never shared with Mailbird (I used a different account to purchase.) I would have rated them 5 stars across the board if it were not for this. I read online where someone from Mailbird was comparing this to google saying...

Easy to set up, easy to use. Everything is in one place for awesome access.

Facebook interaction is liked. While I can like a post, and can't add other emojis. I can access my office gmail and oersonal mail without jumping through a number of hoops.

- Unified inbox - Support for Gmail/GApps labels - Quick seach even in really big mailboxes (search in six mailboxes with total size 50+GB takes not more then 5 seconds) - Affordable price

- No Linux version (one of apps, that still holds me on Windows) - Search sometimes inaccurate, no complex search syntax - Unable to create multiple signatures on the same mailbox (e.g. for me it's useful to have Russian and English signature on my bussiness mailbox at the same time)

It integrates all my accounts in an easy format. Allowing separation or integration of inboxes as I need. Making storage folders is easy. The system works really well with my Gmail accounts.

Nothing. It has a lot of features I don't use.

I love how you can have all of your disparet e-mail accounts and sservicess under one roof. You can have your Outlook Mail, Gmail, Yahoo, and AOl/AIM, along with your calender, Facebook, and other online sservices.

Well for multiple e-mail accounts and extensive ssupport, there isa cost. Secondly, you cannot makee your, own custome color schemes or themes.

Using Mailbird Pro has been the best experience ever Syncs easily with all my accounts Easy readability Beautiful UI

Nothing, its simply what Outlook is not I did find the updates to be a bit more frequent and more in size , but thats just fine

I love Mailbird! It revolutionized the way I do email, bringing better organization than what I had in Gmail. I also liked having a mini-browser on the right side of my widescreen for things like todo lists in web apps.

Mailbird is only on PC for now, which means its organizational benefits only partially translate to mobile and to my mac at home. Unfortunately, this proved a dealbreaker for me after many months of trying.

The ability to pull in ANY email account that I have, from Yahoo, Outlook.com, Gmail, to any IMAP or POP email account. I have multiple email accounts and having them all in one interface is great. I can segregate them by clicking on each different email account icon, or I can view them all together in a single view, which I love. In addition, I can color code the messages from each account so even in unified view, I can still quickly and easily tell which email account they were sent to. I also like that you can pull in popular apps right into the interface like Facebook, WhatsApp, Dropbox, Google calendar, Feedly and a ton others so you don't have to leave this app to get a quick glimpse of what's going on in those other apps. Also it's free so that's a big plus.

There's a lot of options and integrations which can seem a bit overwhelming to first-time users. And it can be tricky setting up non-standard (Yahoo/Gmail etc.) email accounts. But once you get it all set up and start using it, it's amazing!

-Very easy to use -Gmail keyboard shortcut just makes the email reading in a breeze. -Easy to manage accounts. -Nice dashboard and design. -Integrations allow users to not leave the app so you can see your calendar and docs. -Undo sent email is a lifesaver.

-Search option is not good. It needs to improve. -The attachments are stored separately and cannot edit when you open them. This loses us time when we edit or sign a paper. -Limited background and color options.

It is a thing of beauty. Form meets function. It is much better than other Windows email apps, and I've tried a ton already (Thunderbird, Outlook, MS Mail...). It kind of reminds me of Spark mail which I use with my Mac. Keyboard shortcuts is the same with Gmail (by default) which made it easy for me to transition from browser based gmail to Mailbird. The Snooze function is also one of my favorites. It helps me achieve Zero-Inbox without worrying about the emails "I don't need to attend to right now but need to be reminded of some other time." Support team is very quick to respond and are indeed helpful. Even before I got my Mailbird Pro, they have been very responsive.

For more advanced email enthusiasts, it might disappoint that it currently does not have the ability to set up filters, or messaging rules. (Maybe you can set this up with gmail beforehand?) The search can also be made more powerful. Right now it can't search and/or sort by date.

I really like being able to have my work and personal accounts all in one place, especially since I use both outlook mail and gmail. I also like have my Slack account, google keep, and other productivity accounts linked to Mailbird. It makes accessing information, especially for work, really easy.

I’ve had some difficulty setting up my account. Periodically I hAve reestablish the connection to the mail accounts.

It's very easy to use, with a lot of features. You can integrate it with most of social media and other services to have everything in one place. Also, if you get the pro version you get unlimited accounts and even email snoozing, a feature that is so good that was recently added to gmail.

If you don't pay for the pro version you only get 1 account. Also, if you add your Social media accounts and other services supported, it gets very heavy after some time

With Mailbird I can integrate as many email accounts I want. I have 6 email accounts, all spread over different email clients such as Gmail, Outlook, and so on. With this app I am able to replace all of these different accounts, and have all my email on one place. This is super convenient.

There are not many useful add-ons, would like to see more of those. The UI also needs a redesign, it has a look and feel from the 90's.
