Manage your inbox

Emails can be a tricky thing. They pop up when you least expect them, and are surprisingly difficult to access when you want to. Luckily, there's a wealth of apps to help you stay up-to-date, without feeling burdened by the constant notifications. Everyone knows basic email apps like Microsoft Outlook and Gmail, so we take a look at more niche apps that do everything from help you personalise your accounts to delete unwanted messages. Try them on for size.
Spark
We love Spark because almost everything can be done with a few swipes. Its Smart Inbox function detects the type of emails you receive and groups them according to personal, notification or newsletter. So, all it takes is a glance to know if the email is important or unwanted - and unwanted emails can be deleted with a single swipe. Emails concerning tasks can be pinned, or 'snoozed'. Then there's their Quick Reply feature that lets you send a few words by tapping a button. This one saves precious time.
Unroll.Me
Everyone has, at one point or another, subscribed to tedious, newsletters. Take care of them with this app that unsubscribes or combines emails with Tinder-like efficiency. Why do we say so? You have to swipe left to unsubscribe from email subscriptions, or swipe right to keep those you want. You also swipe up to ensure emails from senders bypasses your inbox and only appears in your Rollup digest. The app works across multiple accounts so whether you have Gmail or Yahoo! - or want to switch between - that's A-okay.
Hop
Convert boring emails into email messages! Hop is a unique app that turns your inbox into chat conversations and is great for less formal uses as you can make Hop Groups and easily share photos, videos, audio messages and web messages in real time. Also, their custom notifications allow you to assign specific alerts for different people, so you don't have to jump every time your phone buzzes.
CloudMagic
CloudMagic fuses your calendar and email accounts into an all-in-one to-do list. It works with all types of emails so that you can access every account in one secure location and its Calendar Support notifies you about upcoming events. It has a quick and simple interface, is easy on battery life and is great for integration with other productivity apps. Which means it is an all-in-one saviour for working professionals.
