Email Pro skill
« on: December 07, 2018, 08:30:31 pm »
I used newton to have alexa to read my emails.  it was great but they went out of business.  Lost money since I did not get a prorated refund of my subscription.  Was looking at another skill today called Email Pro.  It looked good and was going to sign up to give it a try and see if it was as good as Newton.  However, it seem amateurish and about half way through the registration process I stopped because it was getting confusing and started to wonder if I was giving up my email account info and possible credit card info if I decided to subscribe. 

 anyone use Email Pro from Eklectic Core?  and do you think it is trustworthy since it is in the amazon skill store.  are am I just paranoid all because I have been burned twice since getting alexa, once by tcp connected and then newton.  I really miss having alexa read the emails when I first get up in the mornings. 

finally, is there another one that someone here might be using that works with other email services besides just google mail.

Looks like some other company bought Newton.

I read that article earlier.  Hopefully Essential will release it for everyone and not just use it on their phones.  I want it back.  it is the only one that really worked and fit my needs.

I doubt I will be subscribing to email pro.  I went ahead and install to test it on a throw away email account to see how it works.  I hate it and it will not let you test it on multiple accounts.  I was hoping since it would have worked with all my email accounts instead of just gmail as the other email skills.
