Happy Sunday! As you all know, I have a love/hate relationship with email. I think everyone does.

I get about 200-300 emails a day. At one point, it was so bad that I had to hire an assistant to help me from drowning in the deep end of my inbox. Hi Pauline!

Last week, I introduced a service I was recently introduced to, and I have to say, it’s pretty amazing.

It’s called Inbox Zero, and literally three minutes after I hit send on the last newsletter, they introduced a new ‘Cold Email Blocker’ feature that essentially tells the app how to deal with new emails.

I've been using it for about a week, and it’s been an enormous help. Try it free here. I’m currently subscribed to the $19.99 Business Plan, but a cheaper and free plan is also available.

Now, I bring up Inbox Zero because, on my quest to find the best email tool, I recently stumbled into Shortwave, and folks, this is it.

Do any of you remember Inbox by Google? Well, if you didn’t, it was an alternative inbox client that Google made for power users and arguably one of the best email clients out there. Then, Google, being Google, shut the app down.

Everyone disliked that.

So, back to Shortwave. Shortwave is essentially Inbox. It’s even made by a group of ex-Googlers.

It organizes your inbox efficiently, bundles non-essential emails, and eliminates the stress of an unread count.

Available for $9/month, Shortwave aims to pick up where Google Inbox left off, offering a more streamlined, clutter-free email experience.

I’ve only been using it for less than a week, and I’ve never been excited to tackle my inbox—something I avoided like the plague. I’ll keep you updated on how it goes, but it’s been excellent so far.

If you want to learn more about Shortwave, check it out here.

Check out Sanebox

SaneBox was another one I tried, but my inbox almost gave it a run for its money. I might give it another shot because the idea sounds great.

Their trainable AI assistant identifies important emails and automatically organizes the rest to help you stay focused.
