Email Filing Assistant
macOS / Productivité
EFA revolutionizes email management by automating and streamlining the process. The core philosophy behind EFA is to minimize cognitive disruption. Typically, sorting emails involves halting a high-value mental task to focus on the mundane chore of deciding where each email should go, followed by manually moving it to the designated folder. EFA cleverly eliminates this hassle.
The app achieves this by monitoring your email organization habits. It learns from your past actions to predict where you might want to file new emails. With EFA, your role is simply to approve its suggestions, and it handles the rest, seamlessly integrating into your workflow.
Building on its innovative approach, EFA 5 introduces the EFA Mail Extension for Apple Mail, powered by MailKit. This extension is a game-changer, embedding key functionalities of EFA directly into Apple Mail. As users compose an email, they can now proactively select the destination folder for EFA to file the email post-sending. This ingenious feature eradicates the need to manually organize emails from the Sent Items folder, streamlining the process further.
This enhancement, highly anticipated and the most requested by EFA users, signifies a significant leap in email management efficiency. To utilize the EFA Mail Extension, it's essential to have the main EFA 5 app running and Object Reference Caching enabled (accessible through EFA preferences under the 'Other' section). This integration ensures a more intuitive and seamless email handling experience directly from the Apple Mail interface, making EFA 5 an even more indispensable tool for email organization.
EFA's standout features include:
- Individual Filing: Easily sort a single email or a batch of them.
- Batch Filing: Effortlessly organize all emails in a mailbox, like Sent Items or Inbox, in one go.
- Email Reply Workflow: Streamline the process of replying, filing the response, and organizing the original email.
Accessing EFA is flexible and user-friendly, available through:
- The EFA main window has both expansive and minimalist layouts.
- A Head-Up Display that's always visible for quick access.
- The Dock for easy navigation.
- The Touch Bar on MacBook Pro models for intuitive control.
- Keyboard shortcuts for efficiency.
EFA is designed to integrate seamlessly with Apple Mail, part of macOS, ensuring a smooth and efficient email management experience.
