Overloaded email: organize folders

— LRicci at 11:28 am on Tuesday, February 28, 2006

Itzy Sabo’s EMAIL OVERLOADED has a good suggestion:
You can use numerals or puncuation as a prefix to sort your folders in your preferred order.

For example:
Proposal Bangor
1 white
2 pink
3 red
4 final

Proposal: Tangier
1 pending queries
2 responses ready to include
3 editing
4 final draft

Itzy is a blogger associate from the LinkedIn Bloggers group, and offers tips about how to organize folders that would work for many other email programs as well.

Once I finish a project, I archive the folder and any subfolders right away to that year’s archive.
