Mailbutler 4+

Mailbutler has lots of creative features to make Apple Mail much more powerful. The "Follow-Up Reminders" feature has a lot of potential, but I think the fact that it applies to EVERY email you send is a problem. It would be great if they gave you more customized control over that feature. What it does great is remind you when a sent email goes unanswered for a customizable period of time. But with all the email I send out, I don't particulary care whether they get responded to. For example, maybe I'm just sending an informational email that does not require a response. If I need to know if they received it, I have Mailbutler's "Read Receipt" feature for that. With a reminder coming up for every single email, you kind of lose track. Solution: Add a button on the compose windows that allows you to check it only if you want to be reminded about THAT email's lack of response. This way only the ones I'm needing responses on will catch my attention. And if you don't check the box, Mailbutler wouldn't remind you. That would be my suggestion to make it far more useful.

So, I've been using this mail add-on for a few years after my previous mac had to be wiped clean and I know longer had the command line where apple mail would automatically notify me when an email was read. Due to not savnig the proper command line, I installed this. I only needed emails to be read from certain people on occasion and was perfectly fine having access to only 30 monthly read email notifications. Still not needing more than 30 read notification or not needing them for every single email, I'm stuck with this huge embedded watermark that I hate. Like, the whole purpose of wanting to be anonymous on having read receipts set up is not to have advertisment embedded in the email letting people know that the email notifies the sender that the email has been opened. To my knowledge, I do not recall any email from the company/developer taking a poll on whether or not users are okay with any changes that result in having a watermark?

This app charges just a little bit more for each minute service, that sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. Ive had the app show that an email I sent was never open, and discuss the email with the recipient who HAS read, and vice vera, also when you try to UNSUBSCRIBE??! There are no instructions in their help section, you cannot log into the website, there are no “settings” on the phone or tablet app, and you can’t do it through the App Store or iCloud. THERE IS NO WAY TO UNSUBSCRIBE…. UNLESS you log into the app on a desktop…..where the app sometimes just doesn’t work. Currently….. it’s not working for me. And their support team??! IF you are lucky enough for them to respond, they will tell you to do it through your desktop app…. Even if you tell them the desktop app isn’t an option, then they stop responding. But TRUST they will still charge your card. It would be EASIER to get the government to pass a law making it illegal for them to charge your card, than to SIMPLY UNSUBSCRIBE! So I guess I will be cancelling that credit card that I have EVERYTHING auto paid on, and change ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS IN MY LIFE connected to this card, just to unsubscribe.
