suggestion : would like to have a stronger contrast between read / unread messages, to help w/ faster email processing. A darker shade of blue for unread, or even black, would suit me.

This is what I need until email is finally killed because I think it's an old format which should die sooner than later!

Pros:

1. Great design.

2. Well working tasks and e-mail management.

3. All I need in 1 place!

Cons:

None yet...

Excellent visual email system. Highly recommend to organize your priorities in email. Only wish it updated in real time.
Dimitar Karaivanov
@deanwendt Dean, this is one of the things we will prioritize in the coming months. Thanks for the support!

I just signed up and it seems broken. After authorizing Flow-e for my Gmail account it takes me back to Flow-e's todo dashboard but it's empty and says "loading" -- When opening the console the call to https://api.flow-e.com/users/me/... returns a 401. :(
Dimitar Karaivanov
@braunshizzle we're on it, sorry for the trouble.
Dimitar Karaivanov
@braunshizzle Can you try again? Seems to be working on our end, but tried a different config.
Braunson Yager
@dimitarkaraivan Same issue
Dimitar Karaivanov
@braunshizzle Is this a gmail account? Is there anything special (shared account, behind firewall, etc.)?
Braunson Yager
@dimitarkaraivan Yes a Gmail account, nothing special, I've even tried a different connection on a different computer.

Love the design. I would love to use this just as an email client. Hiding the TODO view would be cool. Then calendar on the bottom is great.
Dimitar Karaivanov
@safaiyeh Hey Jason, thanks for the comment. If you go to the powerups panel (button is in the upper right corner) you can switch off the todos if you don't need them. Feel free to send us your feedback as you gain more experience with the tool :)
Jason Safaiyeh
@dimitarkaraivan Perfect! Thanks. Will be using it through out the day.

It's not only the most elegant way to bring Kanban or GTD models to the email management , but it is also effective and practical.

Having experimented with other tools and methods to handle a high volume of mail, I'm convinced that the Flow-e team has really achieved it.

It's useful from the first minute and the permanent evolution that it's having shows a formidable future perspective.

Pros:

Intuitive, beautiful interface, constant improvement, customizable workflow, ...

Cons:

Some things to do but ... they are doing it!!!

Hi Luis, thank you for being here and caring for the product!

It is amazing! This product has really won me over. @milachervenkova Can I join files to a task card? For example, when I need to send an invoice or read a contract, it could be great to add this file to the task card? In Inbox from Google, I like the ability to postpone a mail at a specific day. I use this to clean my inbox and to remember me something important at the right time. As an example, I receive a mail from my dentist to do the annual checkup. I want to receive the same mail, 3 months later. I don't like the idea to put it in an "Follow-up" column. Is something like that planned? Anyway, the team has been doing an amazing job!
Mila Chervenkova💪
@malianderon Hi Malian, thank you for reaching out. So attaching files to standalone cards is a feature coming soon. Regarding the Snooze email option. This is tricky because behind Flow-e is the Kanban/GTD/Inbox Zero productivity methods, where you are urged to act on each email/task. For example, in your case, the place for your dentist annual checkup is not even in the email inbox, it should be put on your event calendar. :) In Flow-e, from that email, you can create an event, and you will be reminded when the time comes. Fun fact: I like going to the dentist. :)
Malian
@milachervenkova Thank you for the answer. Good luck for the future of Flow-e! I will stay tuned.

I use Flow-e on a daily basis to manage both my work and personal email accounts. I'm very happy with it!

Pros:

The best way to organize your emails as soon as they get in your inbox.

Cons:

Sometimes the messages may have a slight delay before reaching your inbox.

Mila Chervenkova💪
Thank you, Laura! We will start working soon on a faster way to deliver emails in the inbox. :)
