Every business, big or small has to deal with sending and receiving emails on a daily basis. Companies spend a lot of time replying to mails, or follow ups or even replies. Initially, when there was no tool for this, the task was carried out manually with each mail sent one to one by an individual separately.

All these mailing tasks occupied a lot of time during the working hours that can be utilized for some other productive work for the business. A business couldn’t afford to spend so much time for this process and soon needed a solution of this issue.
