The chaps over at Layer8 software created Mail Boxed to address a real problem when you’re out and about: That is, searching your email for ticket / orders / bookings information. It’s supremely annoying having to look up information like parking confirmations or flight details. Well, Mail Boxed is a neat solution you may well love. Newsletter reader Tony McAlinden is a big fan and emailed last week to suggest I might like it. You’re not wrong Tony, it’s very smart indeed.
Mail Boxed simply does a query on your entire mail, looking for likely confirmation email keywords. It then organises the results into these clever headings: Bookings, Orders, Tickets. It works surprisingly well (and also doesn’t care what email system you use).
Another £0.59 well spent.

Bought this after reading the review and worked well for me too.. finds and sorts the emails so quickly!! I travel a lot with work so will be using it a lot. Thanks for pointing this one out Ewan.. might never have found it otherwise
Richard, this is good news! I'm delighted to hear you're finding it useful. It's great to highlight these kinds of apps that don't necessarily rise to the very top of the list as they're not relevant to everyone. If you come across any that you think we should highlight, let me know Richard!
