Taroby http://www.taroby.org is one such tool which allows teams to share e-mail accounts among team members. Taroby acts as a team inbox. Taroby is a great collaboration tool for entrepreneurs as it allows them to access multiple e-mail accounts possibly of different department and share them with the respective teams. In Taroby, entire team sees the same inbox with appropriate access restrictions. Each e-mail can be assigned to a team member with an informative note attached to it without forwarding the mails as such. So everyone in the team knows who's working on which mail and more... The notes could be very useful to the team mate as it could be an instruction to be carried out. It is also possible to know if the person has read the notes attached to the mail. Everyone in the team can contribute with their ideas regarding any issue. Thus Taroby brings a lot of transparency to the team. With Taroby, Entrepreneurs can access and manage the activities of each team and individual in the organization if he/she chooses to do so. So Taroby gives the Entrepreneurs an overview of the entire communication in the organization. It is important to use collaboration tools which are easy to use.
