Mail App for Chromebook..?

[IanA2]

Other than Gmail of course which I have to say I find terribly clunky.

This is my first go with Chromebooks and I'm enjoying it, except email..

Mac use Mail and it's good. Does anyone know if there's anything similar around for Chromebooks? I've had a look around but found nothing.

As ever, thanks.

Whats clunky about the Gmail web interface?

I used to use an app on ChromeOS but just find it easier these days to use the web versions of them.

Compared to MacMail, I find it clunky. I'm looking for an alternative.

I'm still trying to see what is clunky about


vs



Apart from one is a "app" and the other a website. Anyway I think the one I used to use is Aqua Mail.

There is also Nine Mail but think you have to pay for that.

Have you used MacMail? That's my comparator. I'll look at Aqua Mail later, thanks.

Thanks, it looks ideal, but not I'm quite sure if I can get it working on Chromebook :-(

I use an extension which runs on the standard GMail web app (page). I also have it set so as when I launch GMail it opens in it's own window, rather than a browser tab. As below;


The extension can be found on GitHub, at the link below;
https://github.com/boukestam/inbox-in-gmail
It was available in the Chrome Web Store, but Google removed it from the web store as it was nearly identical to Inbox and they removed it after they shuttered Inbox, in an effort to push as many as possible to the default GMail page.
Only caveat is if you use themes or background wallpapers in GMail you may need to adjust them after installing the extension.

I like it, and use it daily. Quick, simple, and clutter-free.

It may be to your taste, or it may not.
