Thanks for those insights in your workflow. My workflow is very basic compared to that. I do not delete typically, I do not set rules and I do not archive. My main concept is "laizyness". My only decision I make is: Does that mail needs an answer? Then I press the keyboard shortcut for reply. Now there two options: I reply immediately or I save the reply which creates a draft. That's it. When I need to look at the history of conversation I use the indexed search function.
