Missive email
For the last few weeks, all of us at GreenMellen have been using the Missive email app and and it’s been great. Missive is an email program that works with your existing account (Gmail, Office 365, iCloud, etc) and adds some neat features. Here is a quick video that shows what it does:
We aren’t using all of the features that it has, and we likely never will, but there is really one key feature that is killer — comments! It’s weird to think of comments in the area of email, but the way Missive handles it is brilliant.
As an example, if Ali and I both receive an email from someone, we generally need to discuss who is handling it. We can do that via Slack or Text, and that’s fine, but with Missive we can do it inline with the email. In our inbox, just below the email itself, I can leave her a comment and we’re done.
Back to the inbox
Better yet, if Ali were to archive an email and then I commented about it, Missive pulls the email back to her inbox so that she sees the comment. It’s not unlike replying to her email privately (and leaving the original sender out of the loop), but it’s SO much easier to do.
