"Fixing email overload. A lot of people, including me, feel they get too much email. A solution would find a ready market. But the best solution may not be anything as obvious as a new mail reader.
Related problem: Using your inbox as a to-do list. The solution is probably to acknowledge this rather than prevent it."
- fjabre 16y agoIsn't Etacts trying to solve this problem?
- gregschlom 16y agoYeah, I was trying to solve that as well with my startup... Priority Inbox definitely implements a few of our "killer features". Will be interesting to see if we can compete with Google on this :)
- acangiano 16y agoHave you thought what your next startup is going to be about? :-P
- davidedicillo 16y agoI was actually already using my inbox as todo list with the Multiple Inboxes lab feature, using labels "Need Reply" or "To Do" for the emails and use filters to address them to the multiple inboxes.
- bostonvaulter2 16y agoI wish the shortcut keys (such as j and k) would reach down into the multiple inboxes. Unfortunately they only work on the top inbox.
- xiongchiamiov 16y agoSimilar here. Second inbox is mailing lists, third is "other crap" - newsletters, email from Facebook, etc. - the kind of thing that I want to have available, but don't want to see most of the time.
