I spent weeks to get there. My work account had, if I remember correctly, about 3,000 emails sat in the inbox that I duly put into the relevant folder, or deleted. Today, I have a different approach which I find works really well for me: Multiple mailboxes [email protected] - my "normal" mail account [email protected] - work stuff [email protected] - mailing list / server stuff [email protected] - where I move "old" emails from other mailboxes etc. For me, inbox zero achieved nothing. It's housekeeping for no good reason. In conclusion, inbox zero is like 3D TV. A bad idea that failed. Multiple mailboxes is the future.
