Stakker vs Gmail
Gmail sorts mail into tabs such as Promotions and Updates. That moves newsletters out of the way, which is also why they often go unread. Stakker gives them a place of their own.

Which should you choose?
Choose Stakker if
you want newsletters to be something you read, not something Gmail files away.
Stay with Gmail if
you get a few newsletters and read them as they arrive.
