KanmailUse Outlook as a Kanban Board
Outlook's folder system is powerful, but navigating a deep folder tree to find where you filed something last week is slow. Kanmail connects to your Outlook account and turns your inbox into a kanban board — all your folders displayed side by side as columns, with drag-and-drop to move emails between them.
How it works with Outlook
Sign in with the "Sign in with Outlook" button — no app passwords, no IMAP settings to configure. Kanmail uses OAuth 2.0, so it never sees or stores your Microsoft password. You authenticate directly with Microsoft and Kanmail receives a limited-scope token that only permits email operations.
Once connected, your Outlook folders become kanban columns. Drag emails from your inbox to "In Progress", "Waiting", or any folder in your account. Outlook's traditional folder structure maps directly to kanban columns — each email lives in exactly one folder, so moving an email between columns moves it between folders, keeping everything in sync.
Save different views for different workflows
Kanmail lets you save multiple workflow views — different combinations of columns for different contexts. Set up a customer support board with "Inbox → In Progress → Resolved", a project board with "Inbox → This Week → Blocked → Done", and switch between them instantly.
Combine Outlook with your other accounts
If you use Outlook for work but have a Gmail or iCloud account for personal email, Kanmail displays them all together in one kanban board. Each account gets its own color accent so you can tell at a glance which inbox an email belongs to.
Your emails stay 100% on your device — Kanmail connects directly to Outlook's servers with no intermediary. See the security overview for details, or read the Outlook setup docs for more information.
