I have 6 email and 4 IM accounts that I regularly check, and until now I've been using Netvibes to keep an eye on my inboxes but I think I found a new tool that makes managing my inboxes and IM accounts even easier.
Email world: meet Orgoo, an e-mail/IM integration service that sticks together all your different mail accounts, contacts, and IM buddies onto one page. I've been playing around with it a bit today and I think it definitely has potentional once it comes out of beta. Here's a short video that gives you a nice overview of what it does:
In the welcome email I received when I signed up, it said this:
Just some of the things you can do with Orgoo:
- Get all your IM accounts organized in one buddy list
- Get all your email accounts in one inbox, or organized in separate folders
- Create your own video chat rooms and invite your friends to talk
- Send and receive SMS from your computer
- Instantly reply to emails with IM
- Save and organize all of your conversations regardless of platform
- Find anything with Orgoo Search: emails, IMs, video chats, contacts, buddylists...
And so much more coming (very) soon...
- Freemail - pull your Yahoo and HotMail freemail accounts into Orgoo.
- SocialLink - get all the updates happening on yours and your friend's profiles on any of the social networks.
- Calendar
- Open API's so developers can build on top of Orgoo's integrated communications platform.
- Video Chat Widget - have multi-user video chats right in your Facebook or MySpace profile, or anywhere that supports widget integration.
- Conversation View
- Improved Search - Yes, we know our current search, while accurate, is far too slow. We're working on it.
- Safari - Users are already asking for it and very soon we will be supporting Safari.
It's a bit early still, but you may want to keep this one in mind when you are testing your email designs in different mail clients.

I have not heard of orgoo,but it does sound very interesting and if it merges all emails accounts in one inbox and all IM accounts that is excellent. It also seems that this company is looking ahead and have some good ideas. I will follow this.
