Email DMZ folder

Merlin, some time ago you said that you would give us your super-secret to empty the biggest DMZ email folder in 15 min. Care to share it now? I'm trying to empty my mailbox and it's such a pain.

My Inbox Zero E-mail Fu

Just thought I would drop my E-mail Fu, derived from study of various Merlin texts on the subject before the Inbox Zero series. Thanks to this, I have managed to get and keep my Inbox at zero long before now. Merlin has written about this before and suggested tips and tricks, just not collected in one place and alliterated as he is doing now.

I have posted my summary of the methods on my blog here:

Take a gander if you would like to see where Merlin may be going with all of the "hand waving" as he calls it.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
