About
How big is your Inbox? 50 Mails? 500 Mails? Mine was exactly 12733 items until November 2008, when I saw Merlin Mann's "Inbox Zero" Speech, available at
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=973149761529535925 and
http://www.43folders.com/izero.
Your Inbox should always be empty, and there are essentially 5 ways to deal with e-Mail:
- Delete/Archive
- Delegate
- Respond
- Defer
- Do
To help me with this, I have started writing a set of Outlook AddIns.
AutoArchive Now!
User Manual and FAQ for AutoArchive Now!
One of the most useful, yet often overlooked functions in Outlook is the Auto-Archive function. This automatically moves your old e-Mail away from you into an archive, so that your main Folder structure should only contain current, still important mails. (For information on how to use Auto Archive, see
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;830119)
But often I want to manually archive a mail now because I have dealt with it already and don't need it anymore. AutoArchive Now! will add a new Context Menu entry. Simply Right-Click an e-Mail, select AutoArchive Now! and it will be moved into the Archive Folder.
