I used to be an Inbox neat-freak…but I’ve recovered. I put everything back into my Inbox and deleted all of my various folders. Now, I just read my email, act on them immediately, or flag them for later.

Almost all email programs allow you to search, sort (by name, date, subject, etc.) on the fly, and mark emails.

Manually sorting emails and/or managing filters proved to be a waste of time for me. Now that everything’s in the inbox, I save at least 30 – 60 minutes per day.

Why don’t you use a gmail account for everything. Then anything you’ve read but want to save, just hit archive. That way if you ever need it again, you just search through your mail. It takes away all the hassle of folders.
I love it.
Plus it does a pretty good job at filtering spam, and if you keep getting something that is spam, you label it spam and from then on it will go into the spam folder.

You probably already know all of this, but it’s worth a shot.

My Yahoo inbox goes from around 300 to about ten every day, after I delete the spam. I don’t what happened to them, they used to be so good at filtering.

My work mail is displayed on my homepage, so I can take care of messages as they come in. Its gmail, so the spam filter is pretty good.

I have a separate gmail account just for joke services. Its got 22,000 unread messages, which I only check when I need one, then I do a search by topic.
