Question Inbox bingo

[Yorkshire Blue]

I've just had a blitz on the number of e-mails in my inbox at work, but it's Friday afternoon and I now can't face filing away any more today. So I'll instead while away the time by asking how many e-mails have 'Zoners got in their inbox?

I'll open the bidding with 2,159 in the inbox for my main e-mail account.


Yes, I am bored.

We have gmail at work, i've got 30 email threads which are basically things I need to do, and I have 11 starred emails which are things I really need to do. All other emails are archived (14k) and the rest deleted.

I have 3. As soon as an email comes in it gets either filed or dealt with. I only have three that still need an action of some kind.

 

[sammyboy]

The best advice I ever got about this was from a group of lawyers I used to teach at the UOC(Catalan Open Univeristy).They all used to get hundred of emails every day.Their technique was simple.Spend half an hour at the begining of the day dealing with the most important ones,do the same at the end of the day.Problem solved.QED.Works fine for me too.

Who said anything about sleeping? :winking:

Anyway, it's not that they haven't been read/dealt with, but that they haven't been filed.

If only the most important ones could be dealt with in half an hour!

I have numerous filters set up and distribute my mails into various folders.

In total I have about 27,000 and I reveive about 2,000 a week (many automated hence the many filters)

I try and keep a rolling 3 months worth and have a purge at the end of each month.
