Outlook, without the seven-level folder dive.

The folder tree was fine when you had twelve folders. After years it grows out of control. Kanmail pulls the folders you actually work out of every day onto one screen, side by side, so triaging the morning's mail stops meaning ten minutes of expand-and-collapse.

Folders as columns

Folders as columns

Pick the folders that matter today - Inbox, Pipeline, Awaiting Reply, Done - and they sit on screen as columns. Move a message and the folder updates server-side, which means your Quick Step muscle memory still works on the phone.

A board for every job

A board for every job

Save a sales pipeline board for the morning forecast call, a support queue board for the afternoon, and a project tracker board for the Thursday standup. Switch between them in one click — each remembers exactly which folders, in which order.

Multiple Microsoft 365 tenants

If you're a consultant or contractor you've already accepted that switching tenants in the web client costs you 15 seconds and your place in the inbox. Kanmail mounts every M365 tenant in one workspace with a colored accent per account, so the 3pm call client is one glance away from your own mail.

In practice

David, account executive

Columns: Inbox, Pipeline, Proposals, Closed
First thing every morning I open the Pipeline column and work right to left. The forecast call used to mean 40 minutes of scrolling through Sent Items — now I just read the board.

One-click Microsoft sign-in

Click Sign in with Microsoft and you're in — no app passwords, no IMAP host to look up, no admin ticket. Kanmail uses OAuth 2.0, so your Microsoft password never touches the app. The same flow covers Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Hotmail and Exchange Online, and the token it receives is scoped to mail operations only.

Your email stays on your device

Kanmail connects straight from your machine to Microsoft's servers — there is no Kanmail backend in the middle, and your mail is never copied to our cloud. Messages are cached on disk locally so search and offline reading are instant. Tracking pixels and remote images are blocked by default, so the recruiter sending the 'just checking in' email can't tell you opened it at 11pm.
