OtherInbox, “the cure for email overload,” is the also the cure for blocking spam. The Austin-based start-up, founded by entrepreneur Joshua Baer and launched at TechCrunch50, offers a free email account with a bunch of organizational options. Newsletters, social networking updates, coupons and receipts from online purchases are categories OtherInbox will provide for organizing your email accounts.

A unique feature OtherInbox offers is unlimited temporary email addresses. This comes in handy when you want to separate your personal email from receiving newsletters or web updates from online shops. For instance, if you want to receive news updates from Amazon, you just sign up using one of your makeshift email addresses, i.e. Amazon@(your OtherInbox username).otherinbox.com. Then you would receive updates from Amazon in your OtherInbox account. My Amazon email address would be: Amazon@marmones.otherinbox.com. You can use these temporary email addresses to sign up for a new web service or for online purchases.

In case the sites you registered your email address to sells your address to another site, OtherInbox provides a BLOCK button for unwanted/spam emails. OtherInbox will also offer a calendar for organizing schedules and adding shipping arrival dates for items you purchased. You also receive updates in your personal email (the one you used to sign up with OtherInbox) about the messages you currently have in your OtherInbox account.

Buzz Meter Ranking: 3 out of 4 Buzz Bees

Positive: I believe the biggest attraction OtherInbox offers is their unlimited temporary email addresses. I often find myself hesitant to provide my personal email address when signing up for a web service. Now, OtherInbox provides an alternate solution.

Negative: OtherInbox is still in beta mode, allowing users to only test the basics of the email server. Current beta testers/users: be patient.

Conclusion: OtherInbox is an exceptional email service that provides a new way to organize emails. Once OtherInbox is out of beta mode, the sky’s the limit for emailing. Users don’t have to worry about spam, overloaded inboxes, and can use temporary email addresses if they don’t want to use their personal ones. Interested? Sign up for the beta.
