About LeanMail

LeanMail sets the benchmark for the efficient and effective management of email by offering tools and training that maximize the ratio of time and effort to action and tangible results. LeanMail exponentially increases the quantity, quality, and consistency of underperforming, and especially, top-performing employees. Inherently wasteful ad-hoc approaches to managing email are replaced with intuitively designed benchmark processes that facilitate complete command and control over email in Outlook. These processes are supported by a full suite of customizable on-demand add-ins (modules) that snap seamlessness into Microsoft Outlook like Lego blocks. The objective of LeanMail is to ensure that each practitioner has a clear overview of their daily priorities and urgencies...

I know what I need to take care of

Leanmail has been a great tool for many years now. I am able to manage my mailbox and keep it very clean so that I don't forget items that need to be taken care and prioritize my day. Seeing only 10-20 total emails throughout the day in my total inbox is such a stress reliever.

PROS

Quick Prioritization and setting Next Action elements

CONS

When working on Today's mail, it would be great to have another priority or two. For example, I have a couple of high priority items, and a few normal items. I will take an action step but then I need to wait on a response, so I don't want to move it to the next day, because I want to reach out to the person I am waiting on a response from again before the end of the business day. So, a hack I do is add an "x" in the My Priority feild, so that it pushes that email to the bottom, so I don't continually see it in my list of emails that I have not taken the next step for that day. Hopefully, I am being clear.

Vendor Response

Thank you for great the review, Tony. Remember that you can use the "P" priority (P for Personal) as a third option.

Great time-saver

It's a game-changer, really. Once you get the hang of it you'll never go back to what you did before. And if you stumble along the way, friendly LeanMail staff will follow up and help you get back on track. Getting started and understanding the process will take a little effort on your part, but once you've adapted to it you'll be amazed so few people have picked up on it. In 10 years this is how all managers will be managing their written communications.

PROS

Seamlessly integrates into Microsoft Outlook and enhances it by putting existing features front-and-center, while also adding new valuable features to boost email productivity.

CONS

Learning curve is a bit steep. But hang on - it's well worth it in the end!

Vendor Response

Dear Jesper, thank you very much for the positive, frank review. You have been an important contributor to our success for over a decade and a half. Thank you again for all your feedback, and keep it comin'!

Take control of your outlook

Planning my day to day work, scheduling my emails for when i need to get action on them. Having the Next Action solves some of the time spend reading the emails aswell. At most i look at the same email twice before it has been archived.

PROS

When we first got introduced to LeanMail, we only had the first module with archiving. This was a somewhat nice feature, it made everything easy to see and find. But i was also introduced to automatic category assignment which didn't help out that much. With module two, where we had Prioritize and Plan... Waow, instantly i got more time in my everyday, the hole process of managing my mailbox, i thought i had a decent grasp of what was good, but this system blew it away, before i was spending 3-4 hours on my mail everyday, with prioritize and planning i'm spending around 1-2 hours. This has been a great tool for getting back some of the lost time i'm using on outlook so i can be more productive in my everyday, even this review is only possible to write for me, because i was done with my inbox and everything was planned for another day.

CONS

You're forced to use a new way of managing your mailbox. This was the hardest to overcome, i'm a folders guy (or used to be) and like the way it was working, so being forced by a sales person to use their product when i had a great workflow was something i had to work on.

Vendor Response

Hey Casper, I really appreciate the effort you made in writing such a comprehensive, frank and kind review.

Organize & Stay on Track

PROS

LeanMail provides the tools and a working framework to organize and manage the email you get daily. It hides the email you don't need to work on that day to declutter your inbox. Following the process framework learned in training, LeanMail allows me to quickly review, prioritize, and schedule the hundreds of emails I receive daily.

CONS

The setup is easy, but it is an Outlook addon, and customizing it requires some knowledge of Outlook. Additionally, there is no Android app or iPad dedicated app. There is an iPhone app.

Vendor Response

Dear Robert, I wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for the recommendation. Your support means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your confidence in our abilities.
