GTD for Gmail. The best Gmail productivity tool I’ve ever found.
To grok ActiveInbox, watch the video. Here are my favorite features:
Keep your inbox empty by doing one of the following to each email: (1) reply and archive, or (2) make it a task with just one click, which moves it to a different folder.
When composing a new email, click ‘Waiting on’ to flag that you’re waiting for a response from the recipient. Later, you can check the emails for which you’re waiting on a reply. This way I don’t mess up projects because people fail to respond promptly and I forgot that I was waiting on them for the next step.
Those two features alone are worth the setup for me, but ActiveInbox does a lot more than this, too.

Hat tip to Louie for finding this one.
Note also that I only Facebook-gloat over screenshots of my Inbox Zero when all my ActiveInbox task folders are also empty. :)
If you use outlook, Outlook 2010 lets you (at least) duplicate these features.
Looks good. Installed!
