Question 1

What is the difference between Fluxmail and Cora?

Accepted Answer

Both use AI to tame a Gmail inbox, but from opposite ends. Cora is an assistant that works behind Gmail: it screens incoming mail, keeps what matters in your inbox, archives the rest, and summarizes it in a brief twice a day. You keep using Gmail itself. Fluxmail replaces the Gmail interface with a fast client of its own, where AI triage, a priority queue, drafting, rules, and an agent are built into the place you actually read and write email.

Question 2

Is Cora a full email client?

Accepted Answer

No, and it does not try to be. Cora has no reading pane, composer, search, or snooze of its own; Gmail provides all of that while Cora manages the flow behind the scenes. That invisibility is part of its appeal. Fluxmail takes the opposite bet: if AI is going to run your email, the client itself should be built around it, so triage, drafting, tasks, and the agent all live in one fast interface.

Question 3

Is Fluxmail cheaper than Cora?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fluxmail is $15/month, or $12.50/month billed annually, with up to 5 Gmail accounts and every feature included. Cora's Professional plan is $20/month billed annually and covers 2 email accounts; going past 2 requires the Unlimited plan at $39/month. If you want Every's other apps (Spiral, Sparkle) anyway, Cora's inclusion in the $20/month Every bundle is decent value; as an email tool alone, Fluxmail gives you more for less.

Question 4

Does Fluxmail have a daily brief like Cora?

Accepted Answer

No. The brief is Cora's signature move: everything it archives gets condensed into a morning and afternoon digest you read in half a minute. Fluxmail handles the same overflow differently, in real time: low-priority mail is scored and routed out of your way as it arrives, newsletters land on a dedicated shelf, and the priority queue lets you swipe through what actually needs you. You check in on your schedule instead of waiting for the next brief, which also means time-sensitive mail never waits in a batch.

Question 5

Can I switch from Cora to Fluxmail?

Accepted Answer

Yes, easily. Both run on Gmail, so there is nothing to migrate: disconnect Cora, sign in to Fluxmail with your Google account, and your mail, labels, and history are already there. Mail that Cora archived stays archived in Gmail, and Fluxmail's AI triage takes over from there. You can try Fluxmail free for 7 days without a credit card. Running both at once isn't recommended, since Cora's auto-archiving would fight Fluxmail's triage.

Question 6

Which is more private, Fluxmail or Cora?

Accepted Answer

Both are careful with Gmail data, with different guarantees. Cora processes your mail on its servers under a zero-data-retention policy for Google user data (deleted after each task, excluded from training) and holds no send or delete permissions at all. Fluxmail never stores email bodies server-side (they are fetched from Gmail and cached on your device), encrypts the metadata it handles, only uses AI providers with zero data retention, and additionally blocks email trackers by default, which Cora does not do. Both are CASA Tier 2 verified.

Question 7

Does Cora work with Outlook? Does Fluxmail?

Accepted Answer

Neither does today. Cora supports Gmail and Google Workspace only, and so does Fluxmail. If your mail lives in Outlook or Microsoft 365, look at a broader tool like Spark or SaneBox for now. If Outlook support in Fluxmail matters to you, email hello@fluxmail.ai. It helps us prioritize.
