My inboxes are empty except for things I need to take care of or reminders of events coming up that week. Usually, by Sunday of each week, my inboxes are empty. My sent folders are always empty (except for the few moments an e-mail sits in there before I file it). My trash is usually empty, too.
I have categorized folders (and nested categorized folders) for everything.
I basically have every e-mail of substance I have sent or received since about 1995.
What can I say, I'm organized.
I cannot stand when people use their trash folder as storage. I am too organized to use my inbox or sent folder for storage.
