Description

Inbox is a powerful multi function tool for managing your POP email before it reaches your email client application. It can fetch your email from multiple email accounts, collate mail from several accounts into a single account, perform point and shoot filtering directly on the mail server as well as on collected mail, filter your various email accounts before your normal email program connects, act as a proxy fetching mail only when your normal email program requires it or act as a filter proxy filtering your email accounts before your email client collects mail. There are tools to peek at mail directly on the mail server and in your Outlook message store, auto respond to email while you're away, redirect mail to one or more addresses, attach many accounts to a single email address, set up a simple mailing list, set up mailbots to respond to specific mail.

Caveat

This software application has the potential to delete your email without trace, including email you didn't want deleted, if used incorrectly. I've lost email during development and testing and you may lose email too while evaluating it. I take no responsibility for this or any other bad things that may happen as a result of using this application.

Terminology

For the purposes of this document, the phrase "your email client" refers to the application you normally use to collect, read and write email, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla, Pegasus and every other POP/SMTP email client ever written. Inbox is not an email client, while you can usually read the emails it collects, it's not pretty and you can't write or reply to emails. "Uplink" refers to whomever you normally collect your email from such as your ISP or other service that provides you with POP/SMTP email services.
