Clearing Your Inbox
With the amount of business and personal correspondences taking place every day over e-mail, the volume of messages can become overwhelming. Fortunately, Outlook, and some other e-mail clients, provides tools to help automatically organize e-mail messages.
These tools allow you to have much greater control over your e-mail. For example, you could create a folder for each of your important business accounts, then filter messages so e-mail from these people are automatically moved to their own folder. Likewise, you could set another rule to move messages from an e-mail list you don’t need to read immediately to their own folder as well. Now you have less in your inbox and, without reading a single message, you know you have an important business message.
