All the mail in the individual folders is tagged as "new" and almost all modern mail clients show counts of new mail per folder. If not that, there's always "smart folders" which all now do also -- "All New Mail", no matter what folder it's in. If the mail is light for the day, I just go there... It's virtually impossible to "miss" something, but it will show you your real priorities in mail reading if you sort to folders. Frankly, sometimes RB (sorry Kevin & Scott) sits for weeks when the "real" mail gets busy. The little number next to the folder keeps counting up with new messages as a reminder that I need to get to them, eventually... but not "now". I've been unsuccessful thus far in getting all the way to "Inbox Zero" ( http://inboxzero.com/inboxzero/ ) but it's a smart long-term goal... -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [email protected]
