DESCRIPTION
Inbox480 is for anyone using Microsoft Outlook who receives more emails than they can handle. It's a bit like MS Focus, but better.
Inbox480 is just that: an inbox-for-80 percent of your mails. The Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule states that 80 percent of the effects come from 20 percent of the causes. The same rule can be applied to your inbox. About 20 percent of your mail is essential — that which drives your business — while the non-essential 80 percent constantly distracts us and prevents us from focusing on what is most important.
Inbox480 automatically separates mails from essential and non-essential senders in order to ensure that you spend your time wisely. Once Inbox480 is enabled, each sender will need permission to enter your inbox the first time they knock on your door. Those who are not given permission remain in Inbox480 until they are automatically deleted (if you choose) after a period of time (of your choosing). For instance, you could set the timer for six months so that non-essential mails that turn six months old are deleted automatically. The logic is that we should not spend time deleting emails that we didn’t request and are not vital. Every mail deleted by Inbox480 is tagged with a category “Deleted by Inbox480”.
