Organize your mailing list and Craigslist messages... Automatically!

June 29 2009, 5:08pm

After the recent introduction of our new Yahoo! Mail integration, we have been hard at work on new features. Today, we would like to announce the automatic filtering of mailing list messages from Google Groups, Yahoo! Groups, and other mailing lists. Also, we have upgraded our filters for Yahoo! Mail and Gmail to automatically group Craigslist messages as well.Whether you are using Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, or the Yahoo! Mail application Organizer, it's easy to have your mailing list messages groups by list or your Craigslist emails organized by post.Personally, I have found a lot of value with the Craigslist filters. When I post several items for sale, it can get confusing when people reply to all of my postings at the same time. With OtherInbox's filters, my Craigslist messages are organized into separate mailboxes for each item. Mailing list and Craigslist filters have been turned on for all users (Gmail and Yahoo! Mail), so please give them a try and let us know what you think!Customize OIB to filter even more messages in Yahoo! MailA few weeks ago, we announced the ability to customize OIB to filter even more messages in your Gmail account. Now, we are happy to also state that customizing OIB to filter messages in Yahoo! Mail is also available as well! It's as easy as dropping a message into a folder.Changes to Folder Names in Yahoo! MailFinally, we have made a slight change to the way we name folders in Yahoo! Mail. Previously, messages OIB organized were moved into folders like "Shopping" and "News". But, we have heard from our users that some of these folders were getting lost in their own folders. So, we have added the letters "OIB" to the beginning of the folders' names. So, "OIB Shopping" and "OIB News" have taken their place. Going forward, look for these new folders to find the messages that have been organized out of your Yahoo! Mail inbox. All previously organized messages will remain in their existing folders.
