Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on February 17, 2006 7:09 PMMy method of handling e-mail is:
-- use the Outlook Express e-mail client with POP
-- leave it all in the in-box. Don't file or delete anything (Occasionally I copy something to a special folder) (If the Inbox becomes larger than 2Gbytes, NTFS cannot handle it, so occasionally I archive my in-box)
-- turn off the feature that makes the e-mail "read" (not in bold type) automatically.
-- when I have looked at e-mails, change them manually to "read" state.
-- if I need to reply, reply immediately, or "flag" the e-mail.
-- flag e-mails that need attention in the near future or that I might want to refer to again in the near future.
-- forward all e-mails automatically to a gmail account, because it has very rapid search features. This allows me to find any e-mail quickly without filing it.
