Anyone else having problems replying to emails?
Laura M. | Oct 26 2005
I'm so bad replying to emails. They just keep piling. I read them the moment they come, but something keeps me from replying or acting on them. How do you deal with emails? Do having specific blocks of time devoted to email writing works for you? How you balance replying to emails with the other parts of your work? Is anyone using Groupwise for your emails? Any tips for using it? The new version is able to attach labels to the emails and changes the color of the header accordingly. Now I have a very colorful inbox but as full as before. 41 Comments

I have a complete monkey's job updating a large website, so all I really need (or have, at any rate...) is a folder marked "Current projects" and one marked "Finished projects" and transfer emails between the two as I complete the requests. Of course I could and perhaps should expand my system, but it's not really necessary ? and aside from that, I'm a spoiled Mac user, I guess, and am a bit turned off by something as uninspiring as the GW interface, so I haven't felt much of an urge to play around with it. In fact, I think I remember these folks once calling it "The fat kid that fell out of the Ugly Tree and hit every branch coming down" -- although it appears that they have removed that from their site since then ;) But if there are any other GW users in the house, I'm open for tips and good ideas! » POSTED IN:
