You’re right: gmail/hotmail/yahoo accounts scream “SOHO/consultant/personal.” I love startups, but unless you are an individual “building the brand of you” (sooo FastCompany circa 2001), having a branded domain email account is a requirement. Fair? Maybe not. True? Yep.

The way we use email is evolving -has evolved – and the big players out there – outlook, thunderbird, even gmail – haven’t quite figured out how to grow with us.
Rather than deal with a lot of small apps/plug-ins, I think Postbox – new client based on Thunderbird – offers the right kind of holistic solution – with search for example, tagging, and multiple mailbox management. I’ve been using it for at least 7 months and it’s been doing well keeping up with my business/life.

When I search my emails for Symantec, I want to ONLY find correspondance to/from them, NOT every article that mentions them. (I have a rule in outlook that does this now, but only after years of frustration of keeping ALL of my old e-mails in the same file, making a nightmare of searching for things like Symantec +License +Key)

I can’t stand Gmail. I refuse to use it unless forced by the need to share a Google Doc or some such and forward all mail OUT of it to Thunderbird.

Your breakdown of activity offers great insight. You should take a look at NutshellMail to help remove your Twitter and Facebook notification clutter. With NutshellMail, you can disable your one-off notifications and instead receive consolidated updates of all your activity on a schedule you choose. I get my updates every three hours and they provide a snapshot of all my Twitter activity, including new followers, quitters, direct messages, @replies, (search term tracking coming soon). The best part is that NutshellMail lets you update your status, send dms, retweets, replies as well as follow and unfollow commands via email. The Facebook feature updates you on new messages, friend requests, birthdays, invites and status updates from your friends. It also lets you update your status via email and will soon enable you to reply to friends comments via email.

NutshellMail is free and you can learn more at http://nutshellmail.com.

I am one of the co-founders and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Cheers,
Mark
