  • Junk Filtering: The filtering system includes several junk filtering mechanisms that help on cleaning the inbox from spam-based emails.
  • Extensions: Adding third-party extensions to enhance your email management experience even more is now an easy task. Theme Packs can also be used.
  • Cloud Support: When attaching files that are too large for an email, the client automatically offers you the option to upload to a cloud service that would allow you to then share a link to the file in your email.
  • Cross-platforms compatibility: Works on all the common Operating systems and devices with the ability to synchronize.
  • Security: If you handle confidential email and messages that contain sensitive information, then look for a secure back-end platform that protects your inbox from any unauthorized access.
