Build Flexible Organization
If you have ever needed to have an email be in two folders at the same time, you probably understand how rigid folder structures can hinder, not help, organization.
Use MailTags to escape the constraints of folders and organize your messages by keywords, projects and other metadata. Base your order on what a message is, rather than where it is.
Keep on Top of Important Mail
If you want to keep your inbox empty, you need to file messages. But how does one keep on top of emails that need to be processed at a later time?
Use MailTags to create Smart Mailboxes so that your important and time sensitive messages are always close at hand, even if they are not in the inbox.
Manage your Correspondence
When you receive a message in an email dialog, the message is often more than just a reply as it may fit into an existing order and finishes actions started earlier.
With MailTags, replies received can organize themselves based on earlier correspondence. MailTags can even apply rules to those earlier messages so that they can be filed or retagged.
