Top Mailbird Apps to Help You Do More in Less Time

How many open browser tabs do you end up with every day by the time you are finished with your work? The answer depends on the number of apps or third-party tools you are using.

Switching between tabs can be distracting and overwhelming — you have to dig through a lot of pages to locate the right one.

What if you could access most of your apps — all of your email accounts, calendars, to-do lists, tasks, and more — from one convenient interface, without even switching tabs?
With Mailbird, it becomes as easy as pie.

What Is Mailbird?

Mailbird is an email client that helps you connect all your accounts — something most email clients do, right? However, simple email management is not the only productivity boost this service helps you achieve. With Mailbird, you can get all your work done under one roof — an online unified dashboard.

In Mailbird, you can find dozens of the apps you use daily and access them right from the email client app while simultaneously managing your emails.

Mailbird's Integrated Apps

With the ability to not only check your email but also access and use all your apps from a unified dashboard, you can spend less time on project management, setting up online calls or conversations, managing files, and much more.

Mailbird will transform your email client experience and bring it to a new level. You can access your Evernote, Asana, Slack, and many other accounts with just a click, right from Mailbird's sidebar, while simultaneously managing your emails or calendars.

We keep working on extending the list of supported apps and already have an eye on a few we think users would benefit from.

Let's recap

Most email clients integrate with third-party apps. However, their integrations are often limited. They usually help gather all your email accounts in one place, but they don't focus on letting you manage all your work from one unified dashboard.

With Mailbird, you can connect all your email accounts and manage your work from one virtual workstation by connecting with dozens of third-party tools — many more than you would find in other email clients.

Thanks to this solution, you can do more work in less time and avoid multiple distractions.

Try Mailbird for free and access your favorite apps — email accounts, calendars, to-do lists, tasks, and more — from one convenient interface.
