one of the features i liked about it is the analytics that it is expected to have about emails flowing into the inbox..
see sample from the weekend traffic. the weekday traffic is much more..i am hoping that it will give me ideas to tame my inbox that is growing out of control.
at one time, the main problem was spam.
nowadays, it is being in a CC for a 'reply all' thread seems to be a major contributor.
if i stay away from my inbox - or am not connected for a few hours, i can be sure of another few dozens mails flowing in.
I have now come to classify my mails into three categories.
the first are the ones that i am expecting - either information, updates or actions that i need.
the second are some subscriptions [newsletters etc] that i would like to have.
the third category - that is presently about 60% of my mailbox load - are things that i really do not need, but cannot delete without reading - as there could be some implied contribution from me.
I have always wanted to infer more on the patterns of mails and the persons from whom i receive mails.
just when i was getting convinced that the sole purpose of my life was to respond to emails, i feel that this kind of a tool would give me better control on my life outside the inbox!
