Is This The Death Of Email Inbox?

Let us go back in the history and remind ourselves how it was 10 years ago when we had email, but no Facebook or LinkedIn. We used email to correspond with friends, colleagues and clients.

We would send messages per individual recipient or make use of the “CC” option and bulk send our emails.

We would later run newsletters from our email client, until third party dedicated autoresponder services like AWeber and GetResponse made us realize that it is less time consuming and cost effective to let a professional firm handle our mailing lists.

When it comes to email marketing and protecting our inbox spam and viruses are a special threat. It was like that two decades ago, from the beginning of the Internet. But it looks like nowadays, the threat is expanding. From phishing emails to “lucrative” money-making opportunities, our inbox is flooded with unwanted, harmful content and files.

You could say that there has to be an end to email, and our inboxes will look different in the coming years, and you are correct. With the latest anti-spam filters, and hosted email solutions, spam will not reach our inboxes like it used to.

However, like with any anti solutions, there are going to be clever people who will always find a leak into these filters, and get into our inbox, again.

So, here is what we could do:

1. Sign with a service like MailQuatro.com for example and keep unwanted email out of the inbox, better than anything else you have seen. They pride themselves with some of the best anti-spam filters and solutions.

2. Remove your email from those mailing lists you’re not keen on to receive, or you do not want to read. That should be easy. Please do not press the spam button in your email, but rather go at the bottom of those particular messages, and click the unsubscribe/remove link found at the bottom.

You should not receive emails from that person/company anymore, unless you are still on other related mailing lists. As most firms are offering multiple mailing lists, and merging their subscribers and clients, as part of their segmenting strategy.

3. Keep email subscriptions at minimum. I know too many people who participate in so many sweepstakes and join so many newsletters, that is hard to keep up with. If you are one of these folks, then keep it simple! Less subscriptions, means less spam, and a clean inbox.

Your email inbox is not dead, it should be reinvented!
