Recently, we’ve been hearing more about data breaches and also of companies not taking enough care of their customer data. Maybe even more upsetting is that there are even businesses that make it a habit of scanning your data (emails, documents, and so forth) and selling your information.

We, at Helpmonks, are disgusted by such business practices. Each

We are excited to announce a feature that many of our customers have asked for — the possibility to see when a recipient has opened your email, a.k.a open tracking.

With Open Tracking enabled, you will see in the list view and also in the conversation view when your recipient has opened the email to read. The tracking info is being displayed next to the “eye” icon with the time the recipient viewed your message.

We’ve been very busy lately here at Helpmonks and I’m happy to announce a few new features today.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been working on a brand new email system, both for incoming and outgoing emails. Additionally, we’ve made many enhancements and updates to Helpmonks. In the coming

The issue with the XPS13 (back then) was that it maxed out at 8GB of memory (the new ones can be staffed out with 16GB ram). Another issue is the very bad Wifi reception (I switched the Wifi card with an intel one but still got bad reception).

Together with a keyboard and the lack of ports, I just felt it was time for another machine. As mentioned, I’ve gotten the Thinkpad T460s and couldn’t be happier. Actually,
