Mailman - A fix to "OMG, so many emails!"

✌️ Hey Hey Hey 😻 Product Hunters! As @awilkinson shared, we built 📬 Mailman for anyone who finds themselves getting constantly pulled into email and generally struggling to manage their inbox. So how does Mailman work? It’s simple: ☝️ Batch email delivery Instead of constantly getting new emails, Mailman can deliver them every few hours to let you focus. Set Mailman to deliver your email at hourly intervals, a set number of times per day, or at specific times. Figure out what works best for you, then get back to the important stuff. ✌️ Set VIPs so truly important emails are delivered immediately Add important senders, domains, or keywords to the VIP list, and they'll bypass our filters to ensure that you immediately see the things you need to. 🤟 Screen email from new senders to block distractions Mailman blocks any emails from senders you haven't emailed with before, plus annoying newsletters, notifications, and other distractions. Once a day, Mailman sends you a digest that shows all the emails Mailman blocked, and you can choose how you want each sender treated in the future. 💌 Works with your favorite email app Unlike email apps like Hey, Mailman plugs straight into Gmail, so you don’t need to switch email apps and risk losing features you depend on. 🎉 Product Hunt Launch Special Offer This wouldn’t be a launch if we didn’t have something special to offer you folks: Use the code PRODUCTHUNT at checkout to get a 15% discount on your first year on the annual plan. On top of this, ALL NEW ACCOUNTS TODAY get a 45-day trial period (vs 21-day). So, please take Mailman for a spin and let us know what you think! Your feedback and ideas are key to helping us shape the product roadmap. 😎 I am here for the next 24 hours answering all the questions that you might have. I’d love to know: What’s your #1 biggest email headache?

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m really excited to share a product born from my own personal hell… My inbox used to be a dumpster fire — a never-ending nightmare that haunted my dreams, with hundreds of new emails streaming in 24/7. It was easily my #1 source of stress, and I tried tons of things to make it better: Cool new email apps, fancy workflows and systems, the works. Nothing worked. An older friend told me how he used to manage paper mail: “You’d get a huge pile of mail once or twice a day. You’d respond to it, then get on with your day. No new mail until tomorrow morning the Mailman comes.” I realized I was doing it wrong: In reality, very few emails need an immediate response, and most can wait 24–48 hours. Not everyone gets as many emails as me, but I know that lots of friends and colleagues struggle with the same email headaches. So, I teamed up with @mohitmamoria and the team at Z1 (www.z1.digital) to build Mailman: It’s like a firewall for your inbox, making it calmer and freeing up time for you to be more focused and productive. We’ve been testing it with a small group of beta testers for a few months now, and I’m happy to report that everyone is reporting calmer inboxes and less stress all round.

I'm one of the earlier users of Mailman and it's been a big upgrade to my email workflow. I’ve tried a ton of different email apps, plugins, hacks, etc to manage my inbox over the years. This brings together a few useful tools to help make triaging email in batches a lot easier. It took a few days to test different delivery winows, set VIPs, and tune my screening settings, but now I’m spending a lot less time being pulled into email.

@mohitmamoria and @awilkinson are two of my favorite people on the internet. And I am excited to try out Mailman.

Cool demo video :) How it is different from hey.com except the delivery schedule feature. ?makers

I have been using the beta version for the last 1 month. Hands down, my life has never been easier. I get more than 100 emails every day and the majority are usually useless. I used to get distracted by the emails all the time but now I feel like my productivity has increased a lot. I have used many tools for my mail management in past too but Mailmail is honestly the best one.

Great Stuff! Excited to try this out!

Inbox overload is a big problem for me and batch delivery solves for it. Great product

Been using the beta of Mailman for a fair bit here. It’s been great to pace my day and give me solid blocks of time to focus on deep work!

After using Mailman for a couple of months I'm really loving the sanity I get from spending less time being pulled into my inbox. I've tried tons of email apps, plugins, hacks, and workflows, but this is the first that's actually helped me take a proactive approach to email.
