User Rating:So, if you’re like me, you receive many emails a day. They come from various people – some are important, others not so much. What if there was a way to indicate which emails were more important than others? An App called Mailtones by Electric Pocket can help you do that and more. So, let’s try this App out.
When you first open Mailtones, it prompts you to set up your mail to forward to their email address. Once that is done, you can start to organize your mail. You can set up different sounds to play when you receive an email. You can choose from your contact list and pick from one of the twenty-five sounds applying each to your different email addresses. Some of the sounds are bells, frogs, guitars and even ‘you have mail’. Also you can be notified by subject matter and domain name. Mailtones uses push notifications as well and you can even set up when you do not want to be disturbed (i.e., between the hours of 11 PM and 7 AM) and you won’t be notified.
Mailtones works with most mail programs except yahoo. Also, your mail is only directed through the Mailtones server and not stored, so your mail is safe and secure.
After a short setup, I’ve been using Mailtones for a few days and can say it works perfectly. It’s interesting to see people react when your iPhone shouts out ‘you have mail’. Mailtones is $2.99 in the App store. Give it a look.
