Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 41 of the 51 other email apps we grade
Edison Mail is an email app for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows that brings an unlimited number of Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Exchange, AOL and IMAP accounts into one unified inbox. It adds one-tap unsubscribe, sender blocking, tracking-pixel blocking and an assistant that gathers travel, bills, packages and subscriptions. The app is free and is funded by Edison's e-commerce research business, which uses anonymized data from commercial emails. A paid Edison Mail+ subscription adds phishing protection.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Edison Mail, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's free because Edison's research business collects anonymized data from your commercial emails, like receipts, though you can opt out.
- 1
Best for a free inbox for lots of accounts on your phone
Edison Mail is a free email app that puts as many accounts as you like into one inbox, with one-tap unsubscribe and sender blocking.
- 2
Paid plans start at $8.33 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $14.99 per month, or $99.99 per year (Edison Mail+).
- 3
There is a free plan
The app is free with unlimited email accounts, a unified inbox, one-tap unsubscribe, Block Sender, snooze, Focused Inbox and tracking-pixel blocking. Edison Mail+ security features cost extra.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
iOS, Android and Windows.
- 5
Unified inbox
Connect an unlimited number of accounts from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Exchange, AOL and IMAP providers and read them in one inbox.
- 6
One-tap unsubscribe and Block Sender
Unsubscribe from a mailing list with one tap, see suggested unsubscribes, and block a sender or a whole domain from reaching the inbox again.
- 7
Assistant smart folders
Smart folders show travel, shopping, bills and receipts, events and subscriptions at a glance without moving any messages.
- 8
A 3.0 GPA, above 41 of 51
That is against the other email apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Edison Mail you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for a free inbox for lots of accounts on your phone
Edison Mail is a free email app that puts as many accounts as you like into one inbox, with one-tap unsubscribe and sender blocking. It's free because Edison's research business collects anonymized data from your commercial emails, like receipts, though you can opt out. Mail+ is $14.99 a month for three security extras, there's no web version, the Mac app had no live listing, and the Assistant folders work in five countries only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | The app itself costs nothing, under what most of this category charges. What stops it going higher: the only paid plan is $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year for three security extras, and the free app is funded by anonymized data from your commercial mail. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free with unlimited accounts, a unified inbox, one-tap unsubscribe, Block Sender, snooze, Focused Inbox and tracking-pixel blocking. There's no cap a normal person would hit. Phishing warnings are the part held back for Mail+. |
| Features | C | The basics of a mail app: Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Exchange, AOL and IMAP in one inbox, one-tap unsubscribe, domain blocking, snooze and Undo Send. The gaps are on its own pages: the Assistant's bills, travel and package folders only work in five countries. |
| Ease of use | B | 4.5 from about 78,700 App Store ratings, a large crowd but short of the 4.7 an A needs. Tracking pixels are blocked by default and unsubscribing is a single tap. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows, so phone and computer are both covered, and it reads Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Exchange, AOL and any IMAP account. There's no web version, and the Mac app Edison's site mentions had no live store listing when we checked. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Edison Mail is for
- Fits if you've got several email accounts and want one free inbox for all of them
- Works for people whose inbox is full of newsletters they want out of with one tap
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you'd rather not have data from your receipts used for research, even anonymized
- Not for you if you work on a Mac or in a browser: it's iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows, and the Mac app has no live listing
- Pricey if you only want the phishing warnings, at $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year
- Watch out: the Assistant's bills, travel and package folders only work in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India
Good to know
Good for
- People with several email accounts who want a free unified inbox
- Clearing out newsletters with one-tap unsubscribe
- Households that want phishing warnings shared across family members
Worth knowing
- The free app is funded by Edison's research business, which collects anonymized data from commercial emails such as receipts. You can opt out or delete stored data.
- Verify Sender phishing warnings, Validate Contacts and LinkedIn Discovery need Edison Mail+ at $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year.
- Edison's site still mentions a Mac app, but the Mac App Store link from its launch post returned no listing when checked, so Mac is not listed here.
- Assistant features for bills and receipts, entertainment, travel and package alerts are limited to the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Edison Mail you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 41 of the 51 other email apps we grade. It costs $99.99 a year.
What you could not
- An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- Filters that read every message as it arrives.
- Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo Mail among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Edison Mail’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
