How organized are you? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email9 months ago

Some people just delete everything in their email. Other people just keep everything. There are still another group that is even more intriguing.

Do you organize the email you receive? By this, I am referring to creating folders for specific recipients.

Do you use the filters provided to make sure you can find a particular email later?

I personally am a neat freak and I have folders for everyone. I keep most of my emails and only delete those I deem unnecessary.

I am pretty organized. I have each of my piles of junk labeled, good junk, bad junk, I will get to it later junk. I do have different folders for my emails but usually I don't bother sorting the stuff, I just read it and delete it. A few items I save in the right folders. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

Oh my, you gave me a good laugh! You different junk folders? Hahaha Thanks for the reply.

Naaaahhh.. I just leave them as is... I have unread emails which are days or month old but I don't read them since they are from paid to read emails which I am already inactive to. Mylot is also bulking my email by their notification system but I like is since I'll just check on it instead of going through the discussions to check for comments or responses...

To make the story short I am not organized when it comes to my emails... lol..

Have a great day! Happy mylotting!

I have folders for topics like, inspirational, fitness, health, funny stuff etc. I look at unread email as if it was unfunished work if it were a job and it drives me nutso. So recently I have unsubscribed to many newsletters.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

Oh, subscribing to many newsletters can be very daunting. Giving them folders is a great idea. I used to do this, too. With time I stopped the newsletters. Now, I just manage emails from my friends, family and things like mylot. It can all drive us nuts. It just takes a lot of time and effort to sort through the mess.

I have folders and I am adding more of them to try and keep things organized. I confess I deleted a whole bunch of joke e-mails last week though. I just could not catch up so I gave myself a fresh start!


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

I agree, sometimes it's better to clean up in order to catch up.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9178)  9 months ago

Yeah but nobody else had better mess with my clutter! Only me..

hello leonelaphotography

i have an e-mail folder for my Mylot mail only that i created not long ago. that way, all that i have to do to see all of the Mylot discussions that my friend's have started, is click on the Mylot folder. it makes it lots easier for me to make a folder like that off of my e-mail page so that my main e-mail inbox doesn't stay full all of the time, less cluttered. and i have your Mylot notification turned on for you and for some strange reason, i have not recieved one of your new Mylot discussions? i went to look last night if your notification was on, and sure enough it is. i do not understand it. but i am responding to your Mylot discussions right now from off of your Mylot profile page. also on the Mylot folder that i made for my e-mail notifications to go in, i can type somebody's Mylot screen name into the search bar and the e-mail program finds all of that one member's Mylot discussions for me. that makes everything simple. maybe i should contact Mylot with why that i am not receiving some of my Mylot friend's notifications. right?

take care and have a beautiful afternoon.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

I had the same problem about the notifications until I changed my email address. Suddenly my myLot folder on Yahoo! is getting quite fat! LOL

You are right about the in box issue. I hate the thought of using the search filter just for the main in box. I'd rather have the folders and I can sort it to show the messages the way I want.

I am not organized. However, I do save some messages from years ago and they are saved by the dates I received them.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

...and do you keep them in a separate folder or do they stay in the in box?

7. myLot reputation of 35/100. eichs1 (1306)   9 months ago

I used to do this when I was still working. I am receiving lots of e-mails from different people so I have to keep my inbox organized. I also have to keep the mails from each recipient even if the subject was fully discussed or settled for future references. But for my personal e-mail, I receive only few messages so there's no need to create additional folders.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

Oh, absolutely! For work it's really important to keep them organized. Personal e-mail on the other hand depends on each individual. Thanks for your input.

I have just begun to be organised, if you allow me to say so. I have bee keeping important mails in separate folders and also mails from different forums in different folders. That's making it easier definitely. I have a spam filter and trash the spam folder straightaway.

I just hope I continue to do so.

happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

I insist you say so. happy The more mail you receive it will become more apparent how they should be best categorized.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mimpi1911 (7968)  9 months ago

Yes it will be as you said friend.

happy

I think you adopt the right approach by organising your mail and it shows how organised you are. I have not created folders for future reference. However, I keep deleting the unnecessary and unwanted mail. I have recently come to know that there are some sites, which work as mail filters (sadly was not aware about it earlier) and now I am using filters.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

The good thing is that you are now using the filters. It will help you spend less time in your e-mail cleaning up and more time replying to legitimate ones you do keep.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dpk262006 (8692)   ranked 124 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

I also hope so that filters will help screening the unwanted mail.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  8 months ago

The best thing we can do is make sure our email address is not something like ab123456@yahoo.com Those are more likely to get spam. It's better to come up with something genuine and catchy like libby_s_mylot@yahoo.com That way spammers have a harder time sending you something.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dpk262006 (8692)   ranked 124 out of 167 in email  8 months ago

Your suggestion appears very useful and excellent and I agree with you.

I am not that organized. I dont put things to folders my email I mean. I just open up my email and erase those unwanted ones. There must be a key to our email add so that not any one can just send us anything without value at all. Happy e-mailing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

I'm not sure what you mean by no value? Do you mean meaningless spam?


myLot reputation of 91/100. bagumbayan (1732)   ranked 125 out of 167 in email  9 months ago

Sort of. Those spams keep on coming and coming. Although I do have filters but still there are lots of mails coming in.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3 out of 167 in email  8 months ago

Oh, okay. Happy myLotting.
