Continuing on what Mark started, I will explain how I do my email.

Mail is usually always open whenever I am here at the office, at home doing my own things, or on the iPhone. It’s hard to not be able to reach me. To be able to do this efficiently though, I setup IMAP on my email accounts rather than POP. IMAP allows me to be able to read a email on the go and mark anything I read as read, so later on in the evening everything I just read is marked as read so I don’t have to go through them all again. Same goes with deleting.

If I ever see a email in there, it bugs me not to look at it. I don’t do anything special with organizing my email, although I probably should. I just have a inbox for each of my accounts; BKWLD, .Mac, and my personal email.

One thing I tend not to do is delete email (other than spam of course), if I ever need to go back and look through my email I can. Although now with Time Machine, I can probably get away with it. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
