Edison Mail adds advanced spam and phishing detection, but it ll cost you
Edison Mail is one of the most popular Android clients, thanks to its handy features and pleasing interface. It gained a plus version on iOS back in August, which offers extra anti-phishing protection and contact verification. Sadly, Android users were left out until now, but the app just made its way to the Play Store today.
The three extra features offered by Edison Mail+ are called Verify Sender, Update Contacts, and LinkedIn Discovery. They re part of a subscription that costs $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year.
Verify Sender uses an AI-based method to run a handshake with the sender s email server. If the latter doesn’t send back an acceptable response, the app notifies you the email might be suspicious. What s great about this feature is that it doesn t require the sender s email to have a valid DMARC configuration, which most users actually don t have, meaning Edison Mail+ s method is compatible
