Filing email for reference?
mcnicks | May 26 2006
Hi, Recently I have found that my email is getting a bit out of control. I am getting quite good at keeping my inbox empty and generating actions. However, my filing for reference is all over the place. I started off creating a 'Reference' folder and then creating a subfolder for every bit of filing that I do, but this has quickly become difficult to manage: there are just too many folders! So, I want to ask you all how you file your emails? I have experimented with dragging them out of Outlook as files but then I lose all of the nice sorting that I could do. Maybe I should just create a gmail account for work and forward all of my email there? Cheers, 6 Comments

This is something I'm also struggling with right now. The "save the important information, ditch the voicemail/phone-log" thing that DA suggests for the telephone doesn't really work for e-mail, because it's sometimes neccesary to be able to go back and say "I did X because I got this email (attched) from Y that said Z." Sometimes the papertrail is as important as the information it contains. » POSTED IN:
