- kapitalx 12y agoThere seems to always be something in my mailbox though hardly anything useful. I liked the sort-out and/or zap for junk concept. Specially during election season.
- spankalee 12y agoYeah, when I saw that I thought "oh, useful!" except for the fact that I always at least have some junk mail which would ruin it. I wish I could just completely opt-out of physical mail, but the USPS won't allow it: http://www.insidesources.com/outbox-vs-usps-how-the-post-office-killed-digital-mail/ http://www.insidesources.com/outbox-vs-usps-how-the-post-off...
- derefr 12y agoI never even realized Outbox had died out; I just assumed it was another one of those "indefinitely US-only for now but we'll expand real-soon-now" services. If the USPS didn't like their business model, why didn't they just try to start with some other country? I would love to get this in Canada, for example. (We have a half-assed attempt at this in the form of Canada Post's "epost", but it only does bills by partnering and prearrangement, rather than actually scanning anything.)
