I Have 8 Email Accounts — But I Only Check Telegram Now: A Day in the Life of an Extreme Productivity Nerd

For years, I was the guy with too many inboxes.

• Personal Gmail
• Work Outlook
• Old Yahoo for newsletters
• ProtonMail for privacy stuff
• Two client-specific addresses
• A throwaway for shopping
• And one random iCloud I barely remember signing up for

That’s eight. Eight different places where important (and not-so-important) emails could hide. Every day, I’d cycle through apps, browser tabs, and notifications like a hamster on a wheel. “Did that invoice land in the work account? Was the flight confirmation in personal? Did the client reply to the custom domain?”

It was exhausting. I’d refresh inboxes every 5 minutes during work hours, terrified of missing something. Weekends weren’t safe either — I’d still peek “just in case.”

Then I discovered Mailflow, and everything changed.

Here’s how it works in my daily routine now:

Morning

I wake up, grab my phone, and open Telegram — my single source of truth. All overnight emails from every account have already been forwarded to my dedicated @mailflow.cc address, and Mailflow instantly pushes clean summaries (sender, subject, key snippet) straight into my personal Telegram chat.

No app switching. No login screens. Just one streamlined feed.

Work hours

Client emails land in a separate Mailflow workspace (think of each @mailflow.cc mailbox as an isolated inbox). I’ve set that workspace to forward everything to my team’s Discord server. Important threads appear as messages in our #clients channel. We discuss, react, and archive — all without leaving Discord.

Shopping confirmations, bank alerts, and newsletters? They go to a third workspace that forwards only subject lines to a private Telegram channel I’ve muted except for mentions. Zero clutter.

Evening wind-down

Flight tickets, family updates, or personal stuff? Pushed quietly to WhatsApp, where I already chat with friends and family. It feels natural — like getting a message instead of “checking email.”

The magic is simple:

1. Forward all your existing inboxes to one (or many) @mailflow.cc addresses.
2. Bind your favorite messaging apps (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack — or even Webhooks).
3. Set basic rules (or just forward everything).
4. Done.

Free plan gives you one mailbox and 100 lifetime forwards — enough to test thoroughly. I upgraded to the $99 lifetime deal (or $3.99/month if you prefer) to unlock up to 30 workspaces and 10,000 monthly forwards. That’s less than one coffee per month for total inbox peace.

Now I haven’t opened a traditional email app in months. My inboxes are empty vessels that only exist to pipe messages into the apps where I already live.

If you’re juggling multiple emails and tired of the constant context switching, give Mailflow a try. Sign up at https://mailflow.cc — it’s free to start, and you might never look back.
