This is a very simple app that cleans your Inbox and makes your mailing efficient. Other Inbox scan your mailbox for unimportant mails and sorts them into relevant directories. For instance, news alerts from some news site would go into News folder and those from sports site will go to sports folder. This app works with Yahoo, Gmail, AOL and some other sites.

This is one of my favorite app. If you get email from an unfamiliar person, and you want to know about this person then Rapportive will bring all that information about that person right inside your inbox. Rapportive  searches social sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc for an email sender using the email address. And shows you the detail of that particular person.

Email Address Aliases: Free Temporary ID by Hotmail

If you don't want to share your email address due to security reasons or because of spam risk. Like during online shopping or while creating account on some infamous website or for some other reason you can use temporary email address.

Sites like 10MinuteMail offer such services but they apply many restriction as for example, these services provide receive-only inbox and you can only receive email but can't send messages using these addresses. Another issue with these third party sites is that they only provide temporary addresses for a short time and when this time pass your address is vanished.
If your are in similar problem and want a more reliable temporary email address then here is the good news for you. Microsoft Hotmail has added this new feature in Live. Now you can create aliases for your email address. You may associate up to five different aliases with your Hotmail account. Separate folder will appear below inbox and all emails for this temporary address will be saved to this folder, and if you are getting too much spam for an alias, you can delete this temporary ID.
