I have 12 boxes: in, out, sent, deleted, drafts, admin, BT admin, other stuff, paypal, Scottish Power admin, website stuff and work stuff. the trick is to set aside one or two times to sort email, as you might sort real post when the postman comes, to reply to everything you need to, wipe everything possible, file stuff that you need to keep, archive stuff that you don't need but maybe shouldn't wipe, and flag or mark as unread stuff that needs doing later (perhaps with a note on the calendar).

For my next trick, I am learning how to teach my Grandmother how to suck eggs...
