ClearContext’s Stab At Making Email More Manageable

If you are a fan of Xobni (Inbox spelt backwards, in case you were wondering), you should try ClearContext.

Unlike Xobni that focuses on the senders and your interaction with them, ClearContext focuses on the topic and attempts to organise your inbox by sorting your emails by examining the subject. This is where things get interesting. First, it analyzes 30-40 characteristics of each message that hits your inbox to determine its priority. Messages deemed important, semi-important, or unimportant are color coded as such, and you can sort by this prioritization so that all your most important emails show up on top.

If you are like me, you will lotsa emails from Facebook’s many applications and friends. In a merciful attempt to reclaim your sanity, ClearContext organises your facebook emails according to their types. Whether they are notifications, invites or any of the hundreds types of facebook emails, ClearContext will filter them and with just a glance, tells you facebook breakdown. This is extremely useful and cool.

ClearContext is currently in private beta.
