An email service is about sending, receiving and keeping mail. Most of all, an email service today should put at your fingertips what you need when you need it.

Zenbe makes it easy and inevitable to label emails. You can add as many to any email as make sense, and thus group them flexibly. Stars let you highlight the immediately important, and you can focus on messages from favorite contacts quickly. New emails automatically appear in context if they're part of an ongoing conversation. For older messages, Zenbe includes powerful search.

You cannot save searches as smart folders, though, or have Zenbe learn from your past labeling. The one folder Zenbe does organize automatically is "Spam", whence it quite precisely filters junk mail.

Of course, you already have an email account — and lots of mail in it that would profit from Zenbe organization. No problem: you can have Zenbe download mail from POP accounts and send using all your addresses, too. Unfortunately, seamless access to IMAP accounts is not available. Zenbe itself is accessible via POP and IMAP — the latter sadly just works for the inbox, though. No matter a message's origin, Zenbe's flexible filters can act on it automatically.

Zenbe does not stop organizing at your emails. There are attachments, for example: automatically extracted, Zenbe groups them as sharable files, and you can label them (though, oddly, there's little connection to email labels). How are the files shared? The same way emails are: by forwarding them — or by adding them to a ZenPage.

On these collaborative memory banks, you can share chats, files, images, links, emails, schedules and tasks. Of course, Zenbe also organizes your personal calendar and to-do lists in an easy to use manner. Zenbe calendar could integrate better with email, though, and detect events, for example.
