I’d gladly pay for a product like inbox buddy that makes my thunderbird / mozilla calendar experience more productive. Scott, how about a port?

Here are concrete tips that can help eliminate—as a start—compulsive inboxing during the evenings and weekends. Treat all of them as short experiments and customize.

• “Batch” email at set times.
• Send and read email at different times.
• Don’t scan email if you can’t immediately fix problems encountered.
• Don’t before i forget people during off-hours.
• Set rules for email-to-phone escalation.
• Before writing an email, ask: “what problem am I trying to solve?”
• Learn to make suggestions instead of asking questions.

We all get a ton of email. In most cases replying politely can be demanding. But it shouldn’t be. When someone sends you an email with “VSRE” in the subject or the body, he/she is expecting a very short answer.
