To The Rescue

Drowning in e-mail? You have your pick of lifeboats. 

A 2007 survey by technology market research firm Radicati Group found that corporate users receive an average of 155 e-mails a day. Trying to deal with each message can take a substantial amount of time. Startup Xobni and companies like ClearContext, MXsense and Seriosity can help businesses manage e-mail overload. For instance, Xobni's Outlook plug-in brings fast searches, threaded conversations, e-mail analytics and social information directly to your inbox.

Seriosity's hosted Attent service also works with Outlook mail clients. Users tag e-mails with a virtual currency value based on the message's importance.

ClearContext's IMS software, meanwhile, helps users prioritize their day based on important events and tasks. It also manages inboxes by having users quickly review and sort messages.

When it comes to tricky shared e-mail addresses (like catchall info or customer service addresses), Palo Alto Software's new Email Center Pro comes in handy. This web-based solution lets you monitor e-mail exchanges between customers and your staff. You can assign e-mails to employees and add comments for internal reference.

For many entrepreneurs, managing e-mail will require a variety of solutions, from filters to add-on software. Fortunately, more tools are now available.
