Michal Marek The unusual email client Inbox from Google is gradually gaining new fans thanks to the modern concept of working with mail, and it can be expected that their influx will increase even more. A similar application in philosophy Mailbox is ending due to the restructuring of the parent company Dropbox and its users must find a replacement.
They can see this in Inbox, which is also based on the Inbox Zero principle in combination with high-quality automatic mail sorting, a modern user interface and gesture control. Until now, Inbox has sorely lacked a quality "native" Mac app. But now comes Boxy.
We've told you before how Google Inbox works described in detail. Long gone are the days when Inbox was more of an invite-only, Chrome-only, and Google Apps experiment for curious users and enthusiasts.
Today, Inbox has to be reckoned with as a strong player in the field of e-mail communication, and one of the few things that users lacked until recently was a native application for Mac. Not everyone needs a web browser to comfortably use e-mail. Fortunately, the excellent Boxy app has arrived on the Mac App Store, bringing Inbox directly to your app dock.
Boxy offers basically the same thing that Inbox offers in the browser. But in addition, it will bring to the user everything that he expects from a full-fledged desktop application. Thanks to Boxy, Inbox is wrapped in a classic OS X El Capitan guise, offers system notifications for new mail including a badge on the application icon, and also adds keyboard shortcuts. A nice addition is a special mode for reading newsletters, night mode or support for multiple user accounts.
Boxy is the work of Italian graphic designer Fabrizio Rinaldi and developer Francesco Di Lorenzo. You can have the application in the Mac App Store for an introductory price of €3,99. After the first week of sales, the price will increase by one euro. However, the price will not be excessive and the authors of the application promise free updates of the application in the future. So if you buy Boxes, you shouldn't regret it.
Does this application support only GMail account, multiple GMail accounts, or other IMAP/POP3 servers?
It is written in the description of the application. It only supports Gmail account and can be more than one.
Otherwise, thanks to the author of the article for a tip on an interesting application. I'm still using Mailbox, but the support is horrible and it's ending.
True, I didn't read the description, thanks!
Cool! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
And any tip has an app for ios? Mailbox end, but this is not on ios.
This is on iOS and I'd flag it as a replacement without batting an eye. It can't sort it further into folders like Mailbox could, but otherwise it works similarly. Search the AppStore for INBOX

couple of observations:
– NOT USABLE FOR TRAVELING – with an unstable connection (via LTE modem, iPhone, etc.), I use both application processes to 160%, which DRASTICALLY reduces battery life
– does not display attachments when the sidebar is compact
The design is horrible - garishly oversaturated colors like from a circus.
Lol, come up with a better design, dude, everyone can cry. Btw. it's normal Material, nothing oversaturated :)
Better design, like Mozilla Thunderbird.
