Smart email

That sounds interesting. You could probably search through all emails and classify them automatically using a self-organising clustering technique. Also, using semantic networks such as the OpenMind database or OpenCyc could help to classify the information according to common underlying themes. And if you could do that for emails, why not web pages or any other sort of electronic document.

This is all very grandiose but I'm not actually sure that it would be useful in practice. Personally I don't receive anything like the quoted 30 emails per day, but I know folks who do get those sorts of volumes on a regular basis and have to spend the first hour or two of the day just reading and responding to emails. Probably the most useful thing that a "cyber seceretary" could do would be to group mails by priority, so that you could deal with the high priority things first and leave the tittle-tattle and obligatory spam deletions until later.
