I’ll think you’ll agree that less is more, and the new design lets you quickly and easily move about the app. You’ll also notice that your personal dashboard is now the default page when you open the app. While he was cleaning things up Andy also took the opportunity to simplify the Settings page, nice work.

Like the Daily Digest the Dashboard groups your emails into categories, like Offers, Shipping Notices,  Social Updates and Travel etc.

Looking for a special offer? Need to find that confirmation code in a hurry? Keeping up with your busy social life? then the Dashboard is your new best friend!

The Dashboard also has “Quick click” links, which take you directly into the action without having to open the email first. Got a friend request? Just click on “Accept” from the dashboard to jump directly to Facebook.

To take a look at your own email Dashboard just click on Automatic Organizer in the list of applications inside Yahoo! mail.

Where is that sender?

You can quickly find the sender by typing their name into the search field. Still to many senders? Reduce the scope of the search by selecting one of the pre-defined categories, like Shopping, Entertainment, etc. The list of sender is also sorted to display with the most recently added senders at the top of the list, or you can switch it to an alphabetic list. Quick, easy and convenient.

Customizing is easy.

Found the sender, now what? With just one click you can stop Organizer from moving the emails from this sender out of your Inbox. Or change the folder that Organizer uses for emails from this sender. You can still rename the sender if it takes your fancy.

More control!

But say you want more control than simply on/off? For example maybe you want most of the emails from your bank moved to your OIB Finance folder, but not the alert emails they occasionally send.

With the new Senders page you have that level of control! Enter the name of the sender into the search field. Then click on the triangle next to their name to see a list of all the email addresses that they use. Now you can control which emails are organized and which ones remain in your Inbox!

It has been a huge success with over 550k emails being moved into the Unsubscribe folder everyday. The majority of the feedback that we’ve received is praise for the application along with some suggestions on how to improve it. The most common being that emails in the Unsubscribe folder should not be counted as unread. Seems you don’t like to be reminded that those emails ever existed!

So now, if Unsubscriber moves an email out of your way, it will mark it as “read” as well. Your Unread count will no longer include emails moved by Unsubscriber.

This only affects new emails that are processed, so if your Unsubscribe folder has unread emails in it and you want to clean it up, just follow these simple steps;

1. Open the folder list, by clicking on the triangle next to the word folder.

2. Click on the Unsubscribe folder.

3. Select all the emails in the folder.

4. From the actions menu select “Mark as Read”.

Note that any unread emails that you manually move into the unsubscribe folder will not automatically marked as read.

We have to say we were a bit surprised by the results!

51% of the respondents said they were email hoarders. Hoarders hold on to everything and rarely delete anything outta their inbox. They have little reason to really. Webmail products such as Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL and Hotmail keep adding storage so we have been conditioned to think that we should never delete anything. In the new consumer cloud, there is more than enough space for all those things you might have to go back and dig out of your inbox.

Why do hoarders have a hard time getting rid of emails? Here’s 5 things that might be driving our collective non action.

5- Cluelessness- Some peeps have no idea what is going on in their inbox. They just know they have a lot of email!

4- Reference- Sometimes you gotta go back and check the tape.

3- Phone numbers and addresses – What was that phone number again?

2- Attachments- That photo of your cute nephew on the pony? He can’t ride that pony anymore.

1- Laziness- We got all the hard drive space in the world, right? Right?

Whatever reason you have for holding on to email, we got your back with Organizer!

Organizer is perfect for making sense of those less-than-important messages you get by automatically organizing them into folders and leaving space in your inbox for all the other stuff you probably won’t get around to deleting or archiving anytime soon. =)

So we set up two new folders for his countless ACDLA and Alacourt emails. In Gmail, under “manage labels” we created a new label – OIB ACDLA and OIB Alacourt.

I was sure to nest it under the OIB folder so Dad’s sidebar stays nice and neat!

Then we took a look at all the fluff. You know, the stuff my dad doesn’t care about but for some reason he just ignores when it comes in. Yep, it was time for the OIB Unsubscribe folder!

We unsubscribed my Dad from a newsletter he’s had in his inbox since 2007. He couldn’t believe it was so easy to get rid of. Now he can safely and easily unsubscribe from stuff anytime!

So we started with 15,000 emails in Dad’s inbox…  After Organizer? 200!

My Dad is very very pleased! And with his email straightened out, Mom is happy too – especially since Dad won’t be asking her “did you delete that email?” Mom is an highly organized individual. Dad?  Well, not so much… but now at least his gmail account can be!

We are constantly looking at ways to improve the Organizer experience. Making the Daily Digest better for our over 1 million sign-ups is paramount, so check out some of the latest improvements.

1. New easy to read summary

“Capture” is the word commonly used to convey this approach to marketing. It’s as if we’re holding the e-mail address hostage. – Says Eric Groves of Constant Contact

So what do you do when you no longer want your email address held hostage?

At OtherInbox, we think you should be able to quickly and easily set your email free! That’s why we created the Unsubscribe Folder in Organizer and its new, stand alone cousin, Unsubscriber.

The stand alone Unsubscriber app is currently just for Yahoo! Mail users (if you use Gmail or AOL, Organizer already has it built in!) and it’s the easiest way to remove your email address from a mailing list. Period.

To install, simply click on the Unsubscriber link in the lower left hand side of your Yahoo Mail application list. Then click “Create my Unsubscribe Folder” to create a new folder called, what else, Unsubscribe.

Move or “Drag and drop” the offending email into your Unsubscribe folder and we’ll get right to work on removing you from that sender’s mailing list. You’ll also notice that we will place any subsequent messages from that sender in the “Unsubscribe” folder UNTIL we can get you removed. Eventually, they’ll just stop.

So go ahead, try it on. Don’t have Yahoo! Mail? It’s in Organizer for Gmail and AOL too!
