I empty my email at night before going to sleep. When I wake up in the
morning, I average 270 to 370 new emails. I spend about half an hour
fast deleting uninteresting stuff (90%), another half hour dealing with
things I have to look at but which are quick (9%), and a few hours
dealing with the final 1%. I tend to read and respond to things in the
order they were received on that last 1%. About every 3 days I empty my
email trash when it exceeds 2000 messages. So yes, I am aware of this,
but wasn't at the moment of answering, it was out of chronological
sequence.

No, but if it is possible to get changes in, I will work on it. Just
takes time, and being convinced I won't waste my effort.
