OtherInBox and Yahoo and Me!

I posted about this groovy add-in to my Yahoo inbox last year.  It continues to be a marvelous tool to sort and organize my inbox. 

Certainly, the same type of functionality can be mimicked with filters in Yahoo, but I find filters to be a bit limiting, and I like the fact that I can "train" OtherInbox to send similar types of emails from different sources to the same folder. 

Thumbs UpWhere I find this especially useful lately is really using my Yahoo inbox as a virtual filing cabinet.  I have many OtherInBox folders setup and when I find a particular article of interest on the web, I'll email the article to myself from within the web page.  Where the website in question allows, I'll add a little blurb in the subject line so that it's a bit easier to navigate and sift through the myriad of emails in one OIB (Other Inbox) folder.


Nice work, guys!  I'm a big OIB fan and will continue to looks for ways of managing my email better and sharing tips along the way.
