The Next Web is currently developing a service called Inbox Pro which turns the problem of inbox overload back onto email senders. Each sender receives an auto-response informing him of the number of messages currently in front in the queue, and the approximate wait time before his message is answered. He is also provided a link to a page where he can categorize the message as either a Yes/No Question, FYI, Short Message or Long Message, each of which updates the queue accordingly.
