Jellema is well-known in the Australian technology startup community. Over the past several years he’s been one of the key driving forces behind StartupCamp, a series of small events which has seen a plethora of web startups built and launched over a couple of days. The enterpreneur’s own successful startup exit came in March 2010 — when the online coupon company he co-founded sold to online media company Internet Brands.
“Email used to be fun,” he wrote upon launching his new startup this year. “Sometimes I got an email, I responded to it and all was good. Now I get 100 emails a day and spent way too much time dealing with the dreaded email … It’s time to reinvent this tool to bring it into this day and age. This is the goal of Project Inbox ZERO.”
This week on his blog, Jellema published early screenshots of the newly renamed ZEROmail interface and revealed the service had hit closed beta status, with about 40 users testing it. Initially the service works by copying all of a users’ email into the ZEROmail platform, with users being then able to manage both of their email inboxes side by side until they become confident about ZEROmail’s abilities.
“When you are happy with the way ZEROmail works you can choose to synchronise your inboxes and keep them in sync,” Jellema wrote.
Critically – and unlike most email services – ZEROmail automatically filters out many of the automated email notification messages which people receive from services like Facebook and Twitter, as well as bulk distribution newsletters and mailing list group subscriptions. These categories of email receive their own folders, which users can skim read at will.
