Version 1.1 Of Dropbox’s Mailbox App Learns How To Handle Spam And Put Annoying Messages In Their Place

The ability to mark unwanted email as spam and check the junk folder for potentially mislabeled messages are core features for any email client, but until now, Dropbox’s stylish Mailbox app has lacked them. With version 1.1, that changes. The app now places the spam folder inside the sidebar with its other pre-existing categories, and tucked away inside each email’s menu we now find the new option to “mark as spam.”

 

This isn’t all the developers have been up to. Mailbox now lets users swipe and hold messages to create automatic patterns (i.e., filters) of what to do with future messages sent to or from a particular email address.

These features are joined by our usual friends “bug fixes” and “performance improvements.” Along with them, we see support for 19 new languages. View the full list in the changelog below.

The app is still missing some integration that may prevent certain Gmail users from switching, such as proper label handling, but it still remains a cute option for people looking for something different.
