Multitasking often seems the name of the game in today’s always-connected world, but Kukoo takes the opposite view. This email management tool is all about single-tasking: concentrating on one thing at a time and answering your email only at predefined times. To get started, type in your email address. Kukoo gives you a Kukoo.com suffix to this where people can email you. The key to managing your email is to set up rules for when you are going to check email (we set three time bands per weekday) and when you are going to ignore it and get on with your other tasks.
When email comes in, senders receive an auto response which says when you will next be checking email, so they are not hanging around waiting and you don’t have to drop everything to respond straight away. Kukoo does not store your email, so there are no security worries. However, using the service means that senders have to change their address books, and it’s also easy for them to bypass Kukoo altogether simply by omitting the suffix. For that reason, Kukoo remains a three star application in our book.
