NutShellMail appears like just another email and social network message aggregator similar to Fuser, but there’s a critical distinction to be made. NutShellMail will not get blocked by your company’s firewall, which means you can now get emails and messages from all of your personal email accounts as well as MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn.
How does it accomplish this? Well, the secret is that it doesn’t actually require you to connect and log in to each of those sites and accounts. That’s the important aspect to this service because that requirement is what prevents you from accessing sites that your company firewall blocks according to corporate policies. NutShellMail bypasses these border patrols by logging into all of your accounts from outside the firewall and then sends an email to your company email address (if you choose) or to any personal email account if your company allows it, of course.
You control how often you get these email updates too. You can choose to receive them hourly or at noon or whenever. Since you never have to log in to any of these personal email accounts or social networking sites, you are not not breaking any company policies. Not technically anyway. Here’s what the email summary will look like:
Being in the information systems industry for many years, I think this is an excellent idea. While it might mean losing some productivity time for employees due to the fact that they will take time to read their personal emails and social networking messages, the amount of time will be dramatically reduced compared to the standard method of surfing each site and logging in.
