Trello has been amazing for this. I have different columns for the state of the application: - Unsubmitted/Interested - Submitted/In Process - Recruiter Contact - Phone Interview - In Person Interview - Offer - Lost: Denied - Lost: No Response In each card, I attach the resume and cover letter (if applicable) that I sent. I have checklists to help prepare for different parts of the interview(s) and use the discussion comments to keep track of communication I have with different people. I've even used the discussion to track interview questions to help better prepare for other interviews (lots of coding screens use similar questions...). If you wanted to keep contact information with the card, you could use a power up to attach a note from Evernote with contact information if you wanted. I usually just put the name in the discussion though.

Also, you could in theory, save the emails as files and attach them to the cards. I haven't done that but it could be a thing.

  You can give a Trello board an email addresses and simply forward the emails (manually or with a filter) to the board, details and attachments are kept intact.

In the style of a Trello board, I used https://huntr.co/ https://huntr.co/ for my last couple (within a short span) job searches. It was free at the time but I donated to the dev since I felt it was worth the amount of time it saved me from tracking elsewhere. You can customize your columns, add company info, notes, files, tasks (with scheduling), and it has a nice contact discovery feature for the companies it knows about. The Chrome extension is nice to have. I haven't used any of the mobile apps as they didn't exist when I was using it. The dev was very responsive to the one feature request I had which he was already working on. The free plan is enough to see if it fits you or not without too much work.
