i have like multiple 2gb PSTs that is backed up through corporate system

if work stuff was easy like Gmail MAYBE i consider just using search. Outlook search isnt that good really so i prefer to organize with folders

I just use a search to find what I need. Maybe I should organize mine though...
I have 11,035 messages in my inbox, only 3,029 in sent though 😉

I pity your email client.

Hey, if gmail didn't want me to abuse their system, they shouldn't have advertised based on capacity 😉

I'm only 27% full
 
Hmm I move all documents relating to $$ into their own folder (newegg/woot/amazon confirmation emails and bank statements). I delete the spam and everything else sits in the inbox.
 
all my email accounts dump into 1 inbox, and it's very neat.

as of now, i have 15 emails in there.

i think i'll clean it now :Q

edit: down to 1 email in inbox. everything has its own category, and goes to it.
 
I perfer folders by far. But ever since I moved to gmail, I've just stuck with one big inbox. At first gmail didn't allow folders - so I was forced to switch. I hear gmail has some organization features, but I've been to lazy to figure out how to use them (and even lazier to sort thousands of mails once I do learn).

I trash everything that isn't needed laster (except for emails by by significant other) and it still piles up.
 
Unfortunately I use GMail so it is just a huge clusterfuck of various crap. For some reason I can't figure out how to sort by sender and kill off by sender.

For work I delete as they come in and archive.
 
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.

I just took some time to organize my gmail.

I had about 10 different labels set up and had 4000+ messages moved to trash when I decided I liked it better the old way. Everything's back to the way it started with 11.5k+ messages unorganized in my inbox 😛
