A Snooze Button for Your Inbox

Posted by Andrew G.R. / 18 August / Add comment

Like millions of workers, I use Microsoft Outlook at work. As hard as I try to stay on top of my inbox, I inevitably fall behind. The main culprit of inbox overflow are messages which don’t need to be addressed immediately.

By the end of the day, I’m staring at a sea of red flags.

While I make every effort to respond to every e-mail, it’s a foregone conclusion that some will slip through the tracks. If those little red flags become like wallpaper, you might need Hitmelater.com. The Web app functions like a snooze button for your e-mail.

If you’re simply not in the mood to entertain an e-mail, but are afraid you’ll forget to respond, you can have it sent back to you when you’re ready to read it. Set a timer and schedule a redelivery of the message.

“Just forward any email to 24@hitmelater.com and we’ll resend it to you 24 hours later.”

Seriously, That’s it. No need to register.

You can replace “24″ with any number or day. For example, forward it to 4@hitmelater.com and you’ll get it back four hours later. Send it to wednesday@hitmelater.com and we’ll send it back to you the first Wednesday morning after today.

The creators of the site claim that you will never receive spam - at least not by extension of using the service.
