IO Mail is an email app you don't just read — you manage your mail with it. MAIL HUB Every launch starts with a summary of your day: unread mail, messages from important people, today's tasks, overdue items, follow-ups awaiting a reply and snoozed mail, all on one screen. MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS Bring Iyonosfer, Gmail, Outlook and any IMAP account into one app. See all inboxes together and give each account its own color and signature. RULES Create rules by sender, subject, attachment or size: move to a folder, label, flag, mark as read, mute notifications, notify with priority or create a task automatically. For Iyonosfer accounts rules also run on the server, so unwanted notifications never reach your phone. FOLLOW-UPS AND EXPECTED MAIL Get reminded when a mail you sent goes unanswered. Expecting a message? Create an expectation; it's marked when the mail arrives and you're alerted if it doesn't. TASKS, NOTES, SNOOZE Turn a mail into a task with a due date and add it to your calendar. Take notes and send them as mail. Snooze a message and it returns to your inbox when the time comes. LABELS AND IMPORTANT PEOPLE Group mail with colored labels. Mark important people so their mail stands out in Mail Hub. Send unwanted senders straight to junk. CALENDAR INVITATIONS Accept or decline meeting invitations and add them to your device calendar. INSTANT NOTIFICATIONS New-mail notifications arrive within seconds for Iyonosfer accounts. Other accounts are checked in the background at regular intervals. BUILT FOR IPAD In landscape, folders, the message list and the message sit side by side. PRIVACY AND SECURITY No ads, no tracking. Passwords are kept in the device's secure storage and mail content stays on your device. Lock the app with Face ID. Remote images never load without your permission. IO Mail is developed by Iyonosfer Yazılım Hizmetleri.
