From Boomerang to Outlook, here are the best alternatives for 'Inbox by Gmail'

For those unfamiliar with the "Gmail Inbox," it offers a host of great features such as email reminders, reminders, batches, quick search, and more.

In what could be a disappointing news for many people, Google has decided to join its Inbox by Gmail initiative three years after its official launch among the masses. And there are many reasons for that. Gmail by Inbox has surpassed 10 million users and shows that "Inbox" is extremely popular among loyalists who prefer a modern user interface, bundles and all that is important to users. For those unfamiliar with the "Gmail Inbox," it offers a host of great features such as email reminders, reminders, batches, quick search, and more. Right now, we can only think of a handful of services that are somewhat similar to what Inbox by Gmail offers. We will take a look!

Spark

Available as a download for Mac and iOS users, Spark is an email client with similar features, such as Smart Inbox. It shows users what is important. It also allows users to find emails instantly, thanks to the "Smart Search" feature. Users can customize repeat and repeat e-mails according to their needs. Users can also schedule sending e-mails at a later date or time and receive reminders to keep track of important e-mails.

Although Spark is an excellent alternative to the "inbox", it also offers a paid subscription, unlike the "inbox". Users can share drafts to compose emails with your colleagues in real time.

Boomerang

Boomerang is an add-on for Gmail that provides users with some of the smart features they will miss once Google has plugged Inbox. But hey, he's also available for Outlook. After adding it to your Gmail account, you can schedule sending subsequent emails, remind them of follow up, and so on. But what I find most interesting is its feature called "Respondable", which offers real-time prompts to know if the emails they are about to send are likely to receive a response in depending on various factors. In addition, users can also pause their inbox to prevent e-mail from being sent at any given time. Boomerang is available for Android, iOS and Web.

Polymail

With the help of Polymail, users can form teams and collaborate to increase productivity. Users can share and receive online comments and feedback on real-time email. The email can be shared using a shareable web link. Polymail can also integrate services such as Slack and Salesforce. It also provides information about your team's activity and allows users to view, search, and filter your activity feed. You can also clean your inbox by using the unsubscribe option in one click. Polymail is available for download for iOS and Mac users. However, it will be available soon for Android and Windows users.

Inbox targeted for Outlook

Similar to the Inbox by Gmail, Microsoft has "Focused Inbox" for Outlook. What it does, is to separate your Outlook inbox into two tabs: Focused and other. The most important emails are sorted in the Focused tab while the rest of the emails remain accessible under the Other tab. In this way, you can determine which email conversations are more important and get your attention first.
