It sounds computer-y, something an average consumer would buy at Staples. And the meaning loosely fits what I assume your email program will do. What about ProxEmail?

If it's a book/CD, then 'Email Ate My Baby' and 'You are Not your Inbox' are fun attention-grabbing titles. If it's a software app, an object then it would be a bit clunky naming it a phrase... although they did it with 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter'. And since I'm looking for a reason NOT to go through my inbox, here are some random ideas for a laugh! Phrase-type names: - Your Inbox Is Just Not That Into You! (Just a little joke.) -The Little Inbox That Could -Inbox Away! -Killing Me Softly with Email -Online, No-One Hears You Scream Object-type names: -Email Airer -Email Freedom Fighter -The Inbox Resuscitator -E-Snorkel (The thing that saves you from drowning in emails. Same concept applies to E-Straw, E-Rope, E-Winch, E-Rock, E-Floating Debris...ok, a bit too abstract!) I'm intriguied! Depends what the product is.

I wouldn't take them seriously if I saw them on a list of utilities. No offense but they sound like old-time "it's shareware because we can't sell it" names. I don't have any great ideas but one that comes to mind is "Email Intervention" because the glut of emails is like drugs and we email readers need to be saved from the terrors of email addiction. Can't wait to see what the product does. I don’t like any of those. I wouldn’t take them seriously if I saw them on a list of utilities.
