Boxbe for Yahoo! Mail update and preview
October 4th, 2007 by Randy Stewart, Product ManagerHaving squashed all the bugs and polished up its usability, we’ve almost completed the beta test of our service with Yahoo! Mail . Over the next several days, we’re rolling the service out to existing users and barring no difficulties, opening up the service for all to use.
Boxbe Waiting List
No need to come to the Boxbe website to view your waitlisted messages. We’ll move all your unwanted messages into a new folder in your existing Yahoo! Mail account.
Your Boxbe Waiting List folder will contain all the messages from guests you haven’t yet approved.
Sort messages easily
We’ve added the Boxbe junk score to the subject line of all messages in your Waiting List.
Sorting by subject will help you find messages that are less likely to be junk.
Approve Guests within Yahoo! Mail
If you decide a message isn’t junk, clicking the “Approve” link from within the message in the Wait List adds the sender to your Guest List and moves the message into your Yahoo! Mail inbox.
Automatically add new guests
Finally, when you send an email to a new friend, you have the option of adding them automatically to your Guest List. The idea here is that you don’t want people you’ve emailed to have take a test or pay a fee to email you back.
Launching ’soon’
We’re pretty excited about launching Boxbe for Yahoo! Mail to the world. Our integration into Yahoo! Mail will help a lot of users boil down their email to just those messages that matter to them most.
We’ll keep you posted here when we launch to everyone.
