Frankie tells a great story about how, after creating numerous domains and webmail accounts to solve his own email problems, he suddenly came across Joshua Baer's talk at TechCrunch! After discovering OtherInbox, Frankie realized that it does everything he's tried in the past, but automatically and free of charge.

He explains the basic format of OtherInbox and raves about what is in store for the future, calling the service "common sense". In fact, he loves OtherInbox so much that he's planning on sending Joshua a Christmas Card!

Liberate Your Inbox With OtherInbox

By Matthew Price

March 27, 2009

Matthew is ecstatic with what OtherInbox has allowed him to achieve: 

"I'm now consistently achieving email mecca: INBOX ZERO!"

He gives a few examples about how he uses OtherInbox with services like Twitter, Flickr and Facebook to clear out his personal inbox. Matthew also mentions a useful tip that we've seen other bloggers doing: using an OIB address as your public address. This way, automated spam won't start showing up in your personal inbox just because you have it listed on your website or blog!

A Way Out Of E-mail Overload

MITTechReview

A Way Out Of E-mail Overload


By Erica Naone

March 17, 2009

Erica writes up perhaps the most comprehensive review of OtherInbox in his article for MIT's Technology Review. After listing OtherInbox's basic layout and features in detail, she explains how the idea came from founder Joshua Baer's old habit of creating new email addresses on his own domains. This practice was simplified, she explains, into the service seen today as OtherInbox automatically analyzes, creates and organizes new mailboxes.

Erica continues with a few words from Carla Thompson, a senior analyst for Guidewire Group. As someone who watches and analyzes early-stage tech companies, Thompson raved about OtherInbox when she said it "is a rare startup that solves a very real, very urgent need for anyone who uses email."

After running through a few other email services, Erica cites Baer once again in explaining that OtherInbox is focused on automated emails, ones that the user needs but not urgently.

Erica concludes her overview of OtherInbox with a look ahead at the new pricing models as well as future plans to integrate with Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and Outlook this year.

Liberate Your Inbox With OtherInbox

This post was guest-written by Mathew Price. Click here to view the original blog post.

I’ve freed myself from email exhaustion using an amazingly useful cloud service called OtherInbox. I’m  now consistently achieving email mecca: INBOX ZERO! OtherInbox acts as an auxiliary inbox to my main inbox allowing me to coral email that doesn’t require my immediate attention. It does this in a very convenient and innovative way by providing me with an infinite number of ad hoc email addresses. I can view messages sent to each of my ad hoc email addresses in my “other” inbox. Each address gets its own mailbox so I can go straight to the more important messages and ignore the email I care less about.

For example, my OtherInbox username is mprice. The email address associated with my facebook account is facebook [at] mprice.otherinbox.com. For flickr its flickr [at] mprice.otherinbox.com and for twitter it’s twitter [at] mprice.otherinbox.com. Since messages from facebook, flickr, and twitter don’t require my immediate attention I can just log in to Otherinbox once every couple days and get these messages on my time. Now only the messages that require my immediate attention hit my regular inbox. The best part is that I don’t have to do anything to set these addresses up, I can simply start using any @mprice.otherinbox.com address. In case I forget to check OtherInbox sends me daily notifications about the messages I’ve received. I’ve reduced the number of messages that I recieve on a daily basis by about 70%!

When I need to post my email address publicly or sign up for a service that requires an email address I just provide an OtherInbox address and I don’t have to worry about my regular inbox getting infiltrated with a bunch of spam. When I get tired of receiving mail from a service I simply block the mailbox in OtherInbox and I never have to see another message again. I can’t tell you how invigorating it is to block a mailbox that is being spammed!

OtherInbox went into public beta a couple weeks ago at SXSWi. Its free so give yourself a break and put your inbox at bay by signing up now!
