Confused. Am I the only one?

The relevant idea is that you take the stuff coming into your inbox (which represents obligations that you need to take care of, in theory) and then immediately convert it into something like a to-do list.
But how, exactly, does it work? Can I use Thunderbird? Outlook Express? Gmail? Is mail, or anything else, stored on some other site? Does it work on all platforms? All browsers?
I understand your point about it being unclear.
Right now you can use Taskforce within Gmail. We are looking to do outlook and other email clients. The emails are stored (archived).
In terms of browsers we currently support: Firefox and Chrome, and we are looking to do safari soon.
We are creating an app that should help you deal with your overloaded inbox, by allowing you to create tasks from emails (thereby hopefully allowing you to archive if you like); and turning 'broadcast' emails from: twitter, linkedin, facebook, CC's (as we define broadcast - not necessarily directed at you but notifications) you've been included on and turning them into an 'activity' feed.
This combination of tools, we think should reduce the amount of unread emails in your inbox.
