Looks like it might be a great tool.

However, it seems like it might be a bit complex. This seeming complexity is accentuated because of the "lighter" expectation created by the name.

Why is it called "lightermail"?

Oh sorry, didn't see the last part of your comment! It's called Lightermail because once you start using it your inbox and email flow get a whole lot lighter :)
How will your email flow get lighter? :-)
Hehe, this is why I need to work on our message.

Lightermail allows you control when and from whom you receive email (from the global level to individual TLDs to specific senders). The who and when are highly configurable. You can also combine your unimportant email into summaries to reduce the actual quantity of email that lands in your inbox.

There's more of course, but that's the gist.

That's an interesting point. Reducing complexity is a top priority right now. I just wanted to ship and start getting some good ol' HN feedback!
