Hotmail? OtherInbox can organize that, too!

August 11 2009, 12:43pm

Earlier this year, we launched OtherInbox at SXSW with the ability to integrate with Gmail. Last month, we excitedly presented the Automatic Organizer, an application for Yahoo! Mail.This week, we're announcing another major addition to our growing list of supported email services: Windows Live Hotmail! Simply point OIB to your Hotmail account and we can go through your inbox and filter out the automated messages that don't come from real people. To get started, it's as simple as logging in to Hotmail! Unlike with Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, OIB connects to Hotmail over Post Office Protocol (or POP). This means OIB can either leave messages in Hotmail's inbox or delete them. In the Gmail and Yahoo! Mail incarnations, we place the organized messages into folders. This way, they're still in your webmail account, just not in the inbox.To start off, we decided to copy these messages into OtherInbox and leave them Hotmail, so that no messages would disappear. If you use Hotmail, we would love to know what you think. Should we keep the messages in your inbox so they don't disappear, or should we delete the messages that we recognize?If you use Hotmail, feel free to sign up for your OtherInbox today! Existing users can point OIB to their Hotmail account as well
