10 Awesome But Impolite Email Filters
A nice article written by Boris on TheNextWeb website about reaching to InboxZero.
You can read the full article here also another article about cleaning your inbox.
But i like the last filter of his 1st article: If reply = ‘thanks!’
I know it is very polite to say thanks when I answer your question offline and face to face. But in email, when you ask me a question, I answer it and you are happy with it, there really is no need to send an email with nothing but “Thanks!” in it. Want to thank me? Keep my inbox clean. Really NEED to thank me? Send me a bottle of champagne or some flowers.

PeekFON – Emails Everywhere in Europe
This December 15th, Fon will launch the Peek in Europe under the brand PeekFON. The Peek is an efficient email gadget whose unique feature is that it will have no roaming charges in any European country.
The PeekFON will be 99 euros to buy, a reasonable price especially considering that the price includes both the gadget and 6 months of all-you-can-eat email service anywhere in Europe. No roaming charges. No contract.
After that the charge will be 12,90 euros per month for the service but, as opposed to other email machines out there, there is no cancellation penalty of any kind if the user does not want to continue with the service.
According to Martin Varsavsky, CEO of Fon, that fact is the key reason why FON have decided to launch the Peek. The roaming will be handled by the new pan-European MVNO Spotnik, and be seamless to the end-user: their Peek will simply log onto the new GPRS network wherever in Europe they travel to.

OtherInbox: the cure for email
OtherInbox is the email address you use for all the stuff you don’t want coming to my main email address – mostly shopping, news and social networking. Pretty much any time you are not giving your email address to a real person you use my OtherInbox. That way your main Inbox only has important stuff in it and everything else is in your OtherInbox. Once its in there, OtherInbox automatically organizes and everything for you into folders for each website. This saves you time because you can jump right to the messages you care about and easily ignore the ones that you are not interested in reading right now. It also shows you what’s really going on with your email address – if someone sells my information to spammers you know right away and can stop it.
How does it work? Instead of just having one email address, such as jbaer1975@gmail.com, you have unlimited email addresses at your own domain name, josh.otherinbox.com. You don’t have to set them up ahead of time, you can just make them up as you go along. You give out a different email address to every website – Amazon gets amazon@josh.otherinbox.com and Facebook gets facebook@josh.otherinbox.com. This way OtherInbox can reliably sort everything coming back into folders. If anyone sells your email address you will know exactly who is responsible and you can Block that one email address so that you never see their emails again. It’s powerful!
