It sounds very helpful and definitely does save time. But I guess it just needs familiarization to people. We will get used to it some time.

this seems pretty ambitious - a software program that learns your email habits and needs - but iff it does just that then its wonderful how does it compare head-to-head vs Windows Live Mail?

As an academic, I find myself telloing my students of the pre-email days when organizations had a physical mailroom where incoming mail was sorted, logged with both the sender’s and receiver’s reference number, and the name of the individual to whom the mail was passed on. The more conservative companies would print on their letter head :”correspondence should be addressed to the firm, and not to individuals….”

Contrast with today, when I get an email from “John”, but when I try to contact “John” a week or two later, find (or am left to infer) that he has mooved on, so I have to start all over again with my enquiry.

I believe other academics have argued that the advent of electronic communication has in no way altered the traditional mailroom function, which ensures (1) customers get reliable service and (2) bosses can monitor their subordinates’ performance.

Do you have any references on this please?
Does your sysyerm address the problem?

[…] I’ve recently reviewed a new service for small business, Sproutit’s Mailroom. Mailroom is a simple email management service that aims to help you spend less time on email and more time on work. In an Technosight interview with Charles Jolley of Sproutit, Charles had said, “We actually talked to about 30 small businesses from around the US. We found that most of them were spending up to half of their day just answering emails!” I then began to think of the amount of time I spend on email each day and I was actually quite shocked. I am constantly sending emails for work, and when I am done working, I have email to manage for Solution Watch and other personal emails. So how does Sproutit Mailroom help? Sproutit has a unique system that learns the way you send and receive email. It finds email that needs attention the most and displays them on one page, allows for tagging, re-assigning of emails to other users, and even suggests replies. Suggests replies? Simply put, when you send an email with Mailroom, the email will be saved allowing Mailroom to learn which replies are more commonly used with each email. Then, the next time you write a reply, it will suggest one for you that you can base the reply off of. This is definitely a huge time-saver. […]

Hi Mike:

Aside from the fact that you can actually use Mailroom today and not Gmail for your Domain, Mailroom helps you deal with the email you would receive from customers every day that asks the same 10 or 15 questions over and over again. By helping you organize this email and by suggesting replies, Mailroom can save you a lot of time.

Gmail is just a hosted email service for now.

In fact, Mailroom does not compete with Gmail right now. You can use Gmail to host most of your email (we do) and then use Mailroom only to help you handle your sales and support email while you continue to use Outlook or Gmail’s interface to deal with your personal email.

Thanks for the review Brian. We plan to roll out the reply address thing next week. Be sure to let us know how it works for you.

What is the difference between what mailroom is offering and what Gmail Hosted is offering (see http://verusnova.com/blog/index.php/2006/02/13/gmail-offers-hosted-mail-solution-for-your-domain/)
