I love the Notes feature, with which I can capture my ideas while reading an email directly in my email client. When I open the email later, the notes are still there, ready for me to act on.

For me, email is a task management system, and Mailbutler makes it far more efficient. The Notes feature lets me stay on top of things without stressing out about last-minute obligations.

Email Notes FAQs
How do you add a note to an email?
Is there a notes feature in Gmail?
The native Gmail application does not have an integrated notes feature. To add notes in Gmail, you have to download an extension. There are a few options on the market, but (and maybe we’re a little biased) we think Mailbutler is the best option – mostly because you also receive a wealth of other features that work well together, such as the Tasks feature, with which you can also add to-dos to emails and contacts, along with your notes.
Why should I work with the Mailbutler Notes feature in my inbox?
The Mailbutler Notes feature is a great way to keep on top of any important information you don’t want to forget. You can attach notes to emails and contacts and share them with all of your team members, so everyone is always up to date. You could add information about a client, or notes on a presentation, and share them with the relevant people, so you all remember everything you need to. It also works well in conjunction with our Contacts feature, which lets you add custom information to your email contacts, and our Tasks feature, with which you can attach actionable to-dos to emails and contacts.

Can I sync Mailbutler notes with third-party applications?
Yes you can! Mailbutler Notes can be integrated with OneNote and Evernote, and our other features integrate with many more different apps. You can sync your Mailbutler notes to these applications, meaning a note created in Mailbutler will show up in, for example, Evernote. Check out our Support Center article for more information on integrations.
