Do you have a spam problem?
I don't really; my filters do a pretty good job, and i have throw-away addys that i use for some things, and also email aliases i can use to see who has sold my email address to another business.
but this looks interesting.

OtherInBox
OtherInbox is the email address I use for all the stuff I don't want coming to my main email address - mostly shopping, news and social networking. Pretty much any time I'm not giving my email address to a real person I use my OtherInbox. That way my main Inbox only has important stuff in it and everything else is in my OtherInbox. Once its in there, OtherInbox automatically organizes and everything for me into folders for each website. This saves me time because I can jump right to the messages I care about and easily ignore the ones that I'm not interested in reading right now. It also shows me what's really going on with my email address - if someone sells my information to spammers I know right away and can stop it.
How does it work? Instead of just having one email address, such as jbaer1975@gmail.com, I have unlimited email addresses at my own domain name, josh.otherinbox.com. I don't have to set them up ahead of time, I can just make them up as I go along. I give out a different email address to every website - Amazon gets amazon@josh.otherinbox.com and Facebook gets facebook@josh.otherinbox.com. This way OtherInbox can reliably sort everything coming back into folders. If anyone sells my email address I will know exactly who is responsible and I can Block that one email address so that I never see their emails again. It's powerful!

the idea of trying to read email on a little iPhone screen ... dunno, zippie, what i get tends to be long. do you just scroll and scroll?
the app mentioned above would be fun to use if you got a lot of spam, just to really ID who's selling you out.
i've heard about this scrolling with a finger, zippie. mmHmmm... sounds like fun. MMMhhhmmmm.
