So grab a cup of coffee, and let's begin with

What is Gmelius, and Why Are People Talking About It?

features of gmelius

Imagine your Gmail could archive those 75 promotional emails from that one store you bought something from in 2018 and also bump up any important messages you need to reply to.

Gmelius is like that one guy who can fix just about anything.

It's a set of tools that bolts onto your existing Gmail (or Google Workspace) and adds many features you never knew you needed but now can't live without.

Speaking of, let's find out the

Top Features of Gmelius (a.k.a. What Makes It Cool)

So, what exactly does Gmelius do? Here are some of the highlights that made us go, "Hmm, that's actually kinda neat."

Shared Inboxes Without Losing Your Mind

Have you ever tried managing a team inbox with just regular Gmail? It's like herding cats. Who replied? Who's on it? Did someone accidentally delete that crucial client email again?

Gmelius offers shared inboxes that actually make sense. You can assign emails to team members, track their status, and see who's doing what.

It's like having a mini project management system right inside your email.

No more "reply all" nightmares or wondering if anyone actually followed up.

Email Templates That Save You From Typing the Same Thing 42 Times

How many times a day do you type the same basic email? "Thanks for your inquiry," "Following up on our meeting," "Here's that attachment I promised"?

It's mind-numbing.

You could be using that time to close deals, reach out to leads, nap, or do just about anything else.

Gmelius lets you create email templates. Boom. With one click, your perfectly crafted response is ready to go. You can even use variables to personalize them.

Kanban Boards Inside Gmail? Yes, It's Real

Gmelius lets you turn your emails into tasks on a visual board. You can organize them by status (To Do, In Progress, Done, etc).

It's a surprisingly intuitive way to manage projects, track leads, or keep tabs on important emails needing action.

Drag and drop those emails like you're playing a very productive (and slightly addictive) video game.

AI-Powered Email Assistants: Let Gmail Get Smarter

In 2025, Gmelius has stepped up its game with AI assistants that actually make your inbox work for you. These AI tools can sort your emails automatically, draft replies, and help you stay on top of important conversations.

The AI integration has a low learning curve and offers context-aware suggestions that evolve as your email threads develop. It's like having a smart assistant that learns your email patterns and helps you respond faster.

Email Tracking & Scheduling: Read Receipts, But Make It Work-Friendly

Remember those read receipts in your messages that always feel a bit stalker-ish? (Which is why mine are turned off.)

Gmelius offers email tracking that's actually helpful without being creepy.

Find out which of your emails are still unread with one click 😀

And the scheduling feature? A lifesaver. Write your emails when you have the time and brainpower, and schedule them to send at the perfect moment.

Even if that's 3 AM because that's when your international client is awake (the joys of global business!)

Just click the taskbar on the left to keep track of your scheduled emails.

Great! Now you won't forget what you sent or when. 😎

Mobile App: Does It Keep Up When You're On The Go?

In 2025, if an app doesn't work on your phone, it basically doesn't exist. Gmelius has a mobile app, and it's not just a shrunken-down version of the desktop interface.

This screenshot was taken from my phone 👇 (yes, it works EXACTLY the same)

It's designed for on-the-go productivity, letting you access your shared inboxes, Kanban boards, and tracked emails from your phone. So, yes, it keeps up.

Things We Liked About Gmelius

After spending some quality time with Gmelius, here's what genuinely impressed us:

✅Seamless Integration: It feels like it's actually part of Gmail, not just some clunky add-on. Users consistently praise the seamless team collaboration and how it streamlines email management.

✅Boosted Productivity: Seriously, those templates and shared inboxes are game-changers for efficiency. The email automation capabilities help streamline email tasks and manage incoming emails more efficiently.

✅Visual Organization: The Kanban boards are surprisingly effective for managing email flow. They also look very chic.

✅Team Collaboration: Makes working together on email much, much smoother. Users love how it enhances project tracking from Gmail and improves team productivity.

✅Mobile Convenience: The app is actually just as useful on your phone, which is more than we can say for some productivity apps.

What Could Be Better (Sorry, Gmelius)

❌Learning Curve: While generally intuitive for basic features, the learning curve for all the key features is pretty steep. It can take a while to learn how to share and delegate emails, manage shared inboxes and more. Gmelius doesn't really have an effective training path.

❌Pricing: Depending on your team size and needs, the cost can add up. It's not the cheapest option out there, though they do offer a 7-day free trial to test things out.

❌Occasional Glitches: We did experience a few minor hiccups here and there. Nothing major, but enough to make us go, "Hmm, that was weird."

Gmelius vs. Hiver vs. Mailsuite: How Does It Stack Up?

So, expanding on the chart you saw at the top. Let's find out how Gmelius fares against the other productivity tools vying for your attention (and your wallet).

Compared to basic Gmail, it's like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone. It adds a layer of functionality that Gmail simply doesn't offer.

Gmelius is super helpful if your team spends a lot of time working from Gmail. It lets you manage emails, tasks, and teamwork all in one place—no jumping between tools.

But if your projects involve timelines or big teams, you might still need a more advanced project management tool to keep everything on track.

Anyway, here's a quick comparison between Gmelius, Hiver, and Mailtsuite to help you decide faster!

✅ Gmelius – Best for Teams Who Want Email + Collaboration in One Place

If your team lives in Gmail and you're tired of switching tabs for tasks, tracking, and teamwork, Gmelius is your productivity upgrade.

  • Built-in shared inbox, Kanban boards, and email automation.
  • Great for sales, marketing, and operations teams
  • Seamlessly turns Gmail into a collaborative workspace.
  • Bonus: Real-time tracking, templates, AI assistants, and integration capabilities

💬 Hiver – Great for Gmail-Based Customer Support Teams

Hiver turns Gmail into a simple but powerful helpdesk system for support teams.

  • Clean and intuitive shared inbox interface
  • Assign, track, and manage emails like support tickets
  • Ideal for support, service, and success teams
  • Less focused on automation, more on clarity and ownership

🧑‍💻 Mailsuite – Perfect for Solo Pros Who Just Want to Track Emails

Mailsuite is all about simplicity. No fluff, just solid email tracking.

  • Real-time read receipts and open notifications
  • Works great for freelancers, consultants, and solo sales pros
  • Easy to use, offers a lifetime free version, and integrates well with Gmail
  • Not built for teams, but perfect if you fly solo

So as you can see

Gmelius stands out with its comprehensive suite of features, particularly the shared inboxes and Kanban boards.

Some extensions might focus on templates or tracking, but Gmelius aims to be a more all-in-one solution.

Now, let's talk about something a little different.

Can You Automate a Campaign Sequence With Gmelius?

If your inbox is typically this cluttered, I bet you are also trying to reach out to new leads but finding it incredibly hard to stay organized.

Gmelius is great for managing your existing email flow and team collaboration.

But can it also help you find new leads and automate a campaign sequence? Turns out it can!

  1. Click on your Gmelius extension on your homepage and select "Campaigns" in the drop-down menu.
Gmail interface with Campaigns selected.
  1. Name your campaign and upload the CSV list of contacts you want to send it to.
Campaign contact list upload template.
  1. Add the required details to your campaign.
Campaign setup details.
  1. Compose your email and send it off 📩
Campaign message composition.

It's pretty great for an email extension, right? Simple and straightforward enough.

But it has some limitations 😔

⛔ You can only create an Email Campaign

⛔ You need to have a CSV file already downloaded

⛔ You cannot modify a campaign that has already been launched

While it works perfectly well, we know that LinkedIn DMs have a 10x reply rate compared to emails. What if you could create a campaign on LinkedIn and Email at the same time?

Hooked? Let me tell you more 😀

Most automation tools stop working once you get a reply.
