Gmail is one of the best hosted e-mail services on the market. It not only comes with an intuitive interface, but it makes managing e-mails much easier no matter what type of device you are using or how many e-mails you are getting. Of course, as a blogger you want to spend more time creating content and promoting your blog and less time organizing your e-mails, contacts, and attachments. That’s where Mailbrowser can help. It’s a cool add-on for Gmail that lets you manage your contacts much easier. The plugin will connect to your Gmail account and grabs and displays all your contact information in a more organized fashion. It even manages your attachments as well.

Gmail may be an e-mail service, but thanks to Mailbrowser you can use your Gmail account as a fully-fledged contact management service. It can keep track of your e-mails with your contacts, and it even lets you take notes about your contacts. I also love the fact that you can search through your attachments much easier by taking advatage of this innovative plugin. Mailbrowser provides you with a consolidated view of all the documents that you have exchanged with your contacts. You can even version your attachments and tag your contacts, making the tool quite fun to play with.

I don’t know about you, but I use my Gmail account very heavily. That means I get a lot of e-mails and files on a daily basis. Sometimes, going through all these emails and organizing them effectively can take hours of my time. With a plug-in such as Mailbrowser, I can manage my contacts and attachments more easily and get more done in less time. You can even manage multiple accounts and automatically synchronize across multiple installations. Mailbrowser may not be perfect but has a lot of potential. Quite honestly, playing with Gmail has never been so much fun.
