I’ve been a geek since I was a kid. I remember playing Arkanoid with my parents’ Spectrum when I was very small. I’ve been a technology seeker since then, always looking for useful tools that make my life easier (and cooler).
This passion for the technology allows me to discover amazing things that are unknown to most people.
Today I bring you some of those discoveries related with emails.
The first email was sent in the 70s.
And even the email has become the most important communication tool for our businesses, the way we send emails nowadays hasn’t changed too much since then.
Here are 5 free email tools that will help you to use the email in a better way.
Mailtrack for Gmail
All of you know how the double check in apps like Whatsapp works, right?Get the same in your Gmail. You will know when your recipient opens your email.
You can also get notifications every time the email is open with some useful information such as the location or the device from where it was opened.To use Mailtrack, you must be a user of Gmail or Google Apps and install the Google Chrome extension.
Voila Norbert
Find anyone’s email address.
Just type the name of the person and the associated domain.
Norbert will give you the emails. It works like magic!
This tool is awesome to find the emails of the art directors and other clients you would like to work for.
Email Hunter
This one works a bit different from Voila Norbert.
It gives you all the emails associated with a website. It works better for small websites.
Type the URL of a website, get all the associated emails. Simple.
Canned Emails
We send dozens of emails every day.
Canned Emails helps you to send effective emails using canned responses.
Be polite and effective asking someone to pay you back, ask questions or ask for advice, are some of the available canned emails.
Just click on the kind of canned response you need and your email client will be opened with the canned response. Ready to be filled and sent.
Talk Walker Alerts
Enter a term (a name, a compound name or even a sentence) and you will get an email every time it appears on the internet.
Very useful to get notified when someone is talking about you or to get updates from other people or words you want to follow.
I use those tools almost every day and they certainly help me to use the email in a better way. Hope you find them useful!
I would love to know which apps or tools do you use to improve your email workflow! Leave a comment and contribute to making our lives easier.
