June 12 2009, 5:57pm

The OtherInbox team has been hard at work making improvements based on the feedback we have received from you on help.oib.com and creating some cool, new features to help you continue to fight email overload.Connect your OtherInbox account to Yahoo! MailExisting users can now sync their Yahoo! Mail accounts through OtherInbox directly. To sync to your Yahoo! Mail follow these steps or view this video: Click "Settings" at the upper right hand corner  Click on "Yahoo" in the left navigation bar Click "Authorize OtherInbox" Sign in with your Yahoo! Mail credentials

We're still working on enabling the Yahoo Organizer Application for existing users - please bear with us!Connecting to both Gmail and Yahoo! Mail Requires a Premium SubscriptionIf you want to connect OtherInbox to BOTH a Gmail account AND a Yahoo! Mail account it requires a premium subscription that costs $19.99/year. In the future, you'll also be able to connect a single OtherInbox account to more than one Gmail or Yahoo account.Summaries are now called DigestsWe're transitioning to using the word "digests" instead of "summaries" for the daily email you get. It will take another sprint to get all of the changes in but we're going to start using that terminology from now on.Get a Digest for any Mailbox on a Daily, Weekly or Monthly scheduleNow you can receive email digests for individual mailboxes on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. By default, OtherInbox will not send you individual mailbox digests - just the global digest across all your mailboxes.  You can change this by: Click "Settings" at the upper right hand corner Click "Mailboxes" in the left navigation bar Scroll down and click on the mailbox title you wish to customize Next to "Deliver my summary" choose the frequency you wish to receive

More behind the scenesIn addition to the new features listed above, we've done a lot of work to speed things up and fix some pesky bugs! Please try out the new Yahoo! Mail integration and turn on a weekly digest for that mailbox that piles up but you don't often check. Tell us in the comments what you think!
