Working as a freelancer comes with some changes in your inbox. Part of the task of being a successful localancer is packed with the responsibility of checking and responding on your clients’ emails. Since the word “responsibility” sometimes could be scary (especially for the nomadic spirit of freelancers), we have some tools to offer that are going to deal with the responsibility and ease the email management for you.
1. Boomerang
Boomerang is an email app for Android and could be integrated with Gmail and Microsoft accounts. What can you do with this app? Snoozing emails, scheduling email sendings for later, response tracking and more. Peace of mind and sleep is always welcome.
2. Bananatag
It’s a service that allows you to track all of your emails. You can use it as an extension to Gmail, Google Apps or Microsoft Outlook.

3. Streak
Streak is the perfect organizing tool that will save you a lot of time. What exactly can you do with it? Sorting emails by categories which will help you easily find information on particular projects.
