I remember paytrust, I used them for a while (US expat in France at the time). Apparently they still exist and do the same thing I used them for back then.
At the time it was IIRC, $15/mo. Now it's like $10. Personally, I feel outbox's $5 is a sweet spot - it's well south of $100/yr, and is about what I pay for locally filtered bottled water per month.
Also changing the mailing address has significant impacts for things like proving residence (for schools, etc), so that is a pain that Outbox users might avoid.

I still use it (was originally called paymybills.com) before the Paytrust/Intuit absorption. It's a great service, and well worth the fee of $11/month.
Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't seen more a modern mobile/tablet version of Paytrust come around.

working on one now. http://cloudbill.com - would love you to sign up for the beta and would love to chat in the meantime if you have feedback for what you'd like to see :)
So this sounds like Paytrust minus the bill-paying, but with a stronger emphasis on getting rid of and letting you easily view all your mail. (Edit after looking at their site some more: They also will send you the original item if you want it... something that doesn't really apply as much to bills. Although Paytrust did sometimes forward things to me, like a new membership card or something.)
