Pros
At our motel, we receive online bookings to our email account, but with not so important email. We needed a notifier that was priority specific. This seems to be about the only one out there that does this. Using filters, we specify which emails are high priority and set the audible notification to tell us there are high priority emails waiting for us. It is a very pleasant voice that sounds off every couple of minutes or so until we deal with the email.
The free version does almost everything the purchased version does, but I paid for the full version just to let me ad my own signature, and because it just seems fair.
Any email to support comes back very quickly with help, I think by the creator himself.
Cons
Once the filter has captured a high priority email, the sender is then set as the trigger regardless of subject or content.
Pros
It retrieves E mail
It Sends E mail
Setup was Never easier
Contacts imported automatically
Syncs with Facebook
Cons
Menu icons with no help
Very limited inbox choices
Where are the folders
Summary
This program set up like it was designed in Heaven. All contacts were imported, accounts self checked, and started, and mail servers worked perfectly. Than I went to customize it the way I wanted it.
Forget it. No customization. No way to make a toolbar, folder, sub folder, or tag. The address book is nice, but you have to push the icons to figure out what they do.
After messing with this thing for an hour, I got frustrated, and will be uninstalling it.
Can't anyone make an e mail client that's straight ahead, and won't freeze, (Thunderbird). I guess my search continues. If Really wanted to like this!!
Pros
I used ePrompter for several years but that program couldn't keep up with the operating systems. Emailtray is fantastic and is easy to setup for all types of email.
"Two Thumbs Up"
Cons
None. It works as described
Summary
Excellent for one or many email accounts.
Pros
Since ditching Gmail all I want is a simple notifier that works wiith IMAP. EmailTray is the only one I've found so far that actually works for me.
Cons
The tray icon is too small and to make it worse it's divided with a horizontal line so you know what priority new mail is. It would be better with a simple box that just shows the number of new mails. Anyway how can a piece of software decide what priority my mail is? Only I can tell that. Of the test messages I sent myself, it put one of them in spam! I also found the hard way that messages I deleted from EmailTray were deleted from my webmail as well.
Summary
In my opinion it's more of an email client with a notifier added, and from my point of view it's more than I want.

Since writing the above I've given up on using IMAP for a notifier, and I'm now happily using a POP3 one, which is Poppy.
Pros
The various ways in which to organize emails.....
Cons
None yet. I have not yet figured out if there is a select all button that can eliminate all the SPAM mail at once, instead of having to manually delete one by one, but still an amazing program.
Summary
Pleased with this product

Thanks for the review. We use ctrl+A to select all messages, will think about some clearer ways to do this.
Pros
1. EmailTray v.4 brought a Contact View mode instead of standard Message View mode. This turned out to be very useful and familiar for me. There is a "switch back" option, if you like previous view.
2. Save-good-messages-from-spam feature works well and correctly.
3. It looks fine even on small screens, such as my 14" laptop.
4. With my email overload (200-500 messages per day) I work in "Top priority messages" folder most of the time. I look into other folders twice a week. Acceptable for me.
5. I noticed the "Anti-phishing" feature. It is not advertised much, but it is really helpful. It saved me a few times by alerting that "this weird message is NOT from PayPal. This is fake!".
6. Program UI is not ordinary for email software, but I kinda like it.
Cons
1. Address Book must be cleared out from bugs. Seems that it's in beta now.
2. EmailTray should pal up with Windows Aero: the upper part of UI is barely visible due to semi-transparency of program window.
3. This software needs some minor tweaks. For example, I hided message list panel, but it showed again when I re-open EmailTray.
Summary
Nice new ideas, not ordinary but familiar interface. These distinguish EmailTray from other email software. In other words, if your current email program does not make you happy or you are bored with it, then you should try EmailTray.
Pros
Seems okay at first, then bad SPAM habit, then refuses to uninstall, and then it tried to reinstall itself. This is crapware, disguised within a helpful program.
Cons
It kept rescuing emails I marked as SPAM, and then gleefully advising me that it was returning the SPAM to my Inbox. Would not uninstall completely.
Summary
It kept rescuing emails I marked as SPAM, and then gleefully advising me that it was returning the SPAM to my Inbox. Refused to let me change this. When I tried to uninstall the program with its own uninstall program, and with Windows uninstall, it kept reinstalling itself. I had to use a third-party reinstaller to search out all the instances of the programs crap left over, and found that it had left a reinstaller program intact. Thank you REVO.
If you like it, good for you, but don't install it unless you want it around forever. Install it at your own risk.

Here is an update for 2012: The uninstall issue was fixed years ago as was any issue of real spam being rescued from the spambox (the program is designed to save non-spam from the spam box while sending unimportant email into lesser priority Inboxes) when the product was new and the above complaint was made.
Support@EmailTray.com is always available to help and deal with such problems.
EmailTray is a division of Web CEO Limited which is famous for its customer support.

Hi Dana - Have you contacted Support@EmailTray? It would be interesting to find why, in your particular instance, some actual spam was being sent back to one of the 3 other folders. I've had that happen sometime with the 3rd priority folder where I'm prone to mass delete BACN anyway, but the Top Priority folder is what counts most and one should never see spam there (I've never seen it get past the 3rd priority folder). Your feedback on remnants being left after an uninstall was valuable. That wasn't supposed to happen.
Pros
I can click on a small icon in the system tray to access all of my priority messages on one tab - regardless of what email account it belongs. A nice voice announces the priority email delivery :)
Cons
I was a bit confused while adding my pop3 account
Summary
I played with EmailTray last weekend, and must admit this program is definitely a way to go, because it does just the things I need but no other program does: only one click is required to receive email from all of my webmail accounts, it's one notifier for all of my webmail accounts, and there's one list with all emails I really want to see - also from all of my webmail accounts.
Pros
Easy to install and to use.
Cons
Don't see any for now.
Summary
It checks all my emails, I don't need to open many webmail windows, it just sits in my tray and checks mail. I have just received a message from the advertising partner and this tool reported it as a top priority message. I already love it!
Pros
I tried this software and it really works. I rarely look into my spam folder, but I was greatly surprised when it rescued 2 really important emails. Easy to use, workable software.
Cons
Software is new one. But it's not that bad.
Summary
As I said before, software is workable. It manages with it's goals. Rescues and notifies. I'd advise it as I personally like it. E-mail Tray has no conflicts with other software installed on my PC and system resources it uses are definitely not high. It's the first software that really rescues emails from spam box. It notifies me every time I get high priority emails and everytime it rescues good emails from spam so that I can track it in time.
Please Wait
