Edison Mail review

Edison Mail is a free iPhone app that focuses on cutting inbox volume. It connects an unlimited number of accounts from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Exchange, AOL and IMAP providers into one unified inbox, and its one-tap unsubscribe and sender blocking make short work of newsletters. An assistant pulls out bills, receipts, travel plans and package alerts, though Edison says some of those features only work in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India. The app blocks targeted ads and tracking pixels and can be locked with Face ID. The business model matters here: Edison says its research business keeps the app free, and the App Store listing explains that commercial emails such as receipts are stored for its assistant and Edison Trends research, with an opt-out in settings. Edison Mail+ adds contact management and phishing protection for 14.99 USD a month or 99.99 USD a year, which is a lot for those extras.
