The Idea

I'm not saying we should actually build this and try to gain market share as it's very easy to copy (not defensible). But, wouldn't it be great to have a web based email platform that let you register multiple accounts and manage them all in one place.

So, you could have an account for Work, Personal, Family, Internet Forms, Bad Dates, etc... It would certainly make my life easier. And while Outlook allows for this functionality, it's not as convenient as a web-based app (and the search feature sucks).

I thought of this idea when I was...

Working my way through 5 email accounts.

Actually I manage my email with netvibes but still I use different widgets for different accounts.
To have them all together would be nice.

It is an interesting idea, but I don't think it is different enough to attract a lot of users. Keep working with it though, you might be able to fix that.

I wasn't feeling this idea until I saw the part about creating separate Email accounts for forms or bad dates. Not *that* would be useful! Very cool idea, I would definitely use this.

There you have the reason why I have so many email addresses... bad dates :p
Interesting idea, I do miss my outlook when I'm not at home for that exact reason.

I'm still not feeling this, but if there is demand for something like this, go for it.
