End email chaos for good

with a single inbox for all your accounts

Add all your email accounts to Mailbird Next to read, reply, and organize your mail from a unified inbox. When everything is in one place, email goes from a hectic scavenger hunt to a tidy list you can actually work down.

Works well with:

  • Gmail
  • Outlook
  • iCloud
  • Yahoo
  • Proton
  • IMAP

What you get with Mailbird Next

Try all of the features free for 7 days, then keep going free or go Premium.

Premium marks premium features

Premium feature
45+ integrations

Bring your favorite apps to your inbox

Add WhatsApp, Google Calendar, Asana, and Dropbox to a side panel next to your mail. Reply to your emails, tick off a task, or check your schedule, all in one window.

Premium feature

See when your email was opened

Use unlimited email tracking to see which messages were read and when, so you follow up on the ones that weren't and leave the rest alone.

Premium feature

Manage emails your way

Snooze a message until you're ready for it, schedule a send for Monday morning, undo a send, and use snippets for quick replies.

Premium feature

Search every account at once

Find that attachment or an old email with advanced search. Because your accounts are unified, one search covers all of them at once.

Available on all plans

Make it look the way you like

Pick from nine color themes and five layouts, in light or dark mode, and set the zoom to whatever you prefer.

Keep your email to yourself

Your mail is stored on your computer, never on Mailbird's servers. In the Privacy Hub, block pixel trackers and remote images so senders can't tell when you opened a message.

Also included:

Your AI, on your terms

Connect the AI app you already use to Mailbird, and it will help you organize, read, and draft your emails, but only when and if you ask it to. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible apps.

It's off until you turn it on, and Mailbird never trains on your email.
