How does it work?

The good news is that you don't have to create these email addresses ahead of time before you can use them. You can create them on the fly as needed. For example, you can create a new email address [email protected] for Amazon emails, [email protected] for Facebook, and so on for other sites.  OtherInbox then sorts everything coming back into the appropriate folders.

If anyone sells your email address then you will know exactly who was responsible and you can then block that one email address so that you'll never see their emails again. It's quite handy.

What Else can You Do with It?

Besides creating an email address for all websites you shop at, you can also create addresses for events and functions that you attend such as the [email protected] or [email protected]. It's also handy when it comes to tracking rebates, coupons and shipment tracking information. It's a powerful new weapon against spammers as well.

Conclusion

Most of us already own many "other" inboxes on services like Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail to handle these types of emails but OtherInbox can replace them all. It could become SpamCentral Station, if you will. The interface is intuitive and it does make managing your emails much easier.

You can find emails a lot quicker as well thanks to the folder system it uses. Yes, some of you are saying "why not just use bloody rules and filters to automatically archives emails according to the sender!" Well, true, rules and filters can do something like that, but they still require a great deal of work on your part that would never end.

Every time you joined a new site or service you would have to create a new rule or filter to handle it. With the Otherinbox all you have to do is create a new email address on the fly and you're done.
