I have done all the surveys I have been sent. I have answered all the discussions I want to respond to. I have commented on all the responses I got to my previous discussions. I have deleted all the messages I get from freecycle because I neither need anything they are offering nor have got anything to offer anyone. I have even replied to those I needed to and so my inbox is now empty. Do you ever get to the bottom of your inbox?

There are days I feel like I'm barried in e-mail and that despite my best efforts, I'm going to get no-where fast. However, I frequently (maybe not as frequently as I should) go through my inbox and just start deleting old e-mails and only keep the important must-save-for-later messages. It's rare that my business or "important" inbox is ever void of any and all messages. It's almost always got something in it weather it be e-mail for George (my husband) or e-mail for me. I'm seriously considering creating another gmail account to store his e-mails and stop cluttering mine.But, he doesn't get that many anyway so I really shouldn't complain.

Hi there kaylachan You could always creat another folder and title it saved or something, that's what I do. For example the ones I put in there are emails from websites I have joined tellimg me my password and stuff like that. You could create a new folder and title it 'George' then you can hilight all the emails relating to him and just drop and drag them into 'his' folder, that would save you opening another email account. Thanks for your response

Occasionally I get to the bottom of my inbox but most days the answer is a resounding "NO". When I retire from the Inn, I hope I will see the bottom of my inbox more often.

I always clear my inbox daily. Can you see my halo? LOL. I have hardly any discussions highlighted in my inbox and other than Facebook I mostly get spam. Easy to ditch. I tend to answer my messages first thing in the morning or in the evening. Sometimes I do them in the night if I'm not sleeping so well. Helps to send me back to sleep!!

I was very good at this until recently I went on my vacation and although I am catching up on reviewing and or responding to all I feel like I should, it is still not getting to the bottom of the barrel. lol Daily they keep coming so not quite up to date.

hi humbug wow you have been busy.I have accomplished a lot on mylot but its looks like zilch in my mylot folder., some 139 notifications and I deleted about 500 as I just cannot possibly respond to that many friends. I am trying to respond to all that really interested meand have been at this since 8 this morning stopping for lunch at 11 and now working til a few minutes before four. I will again work from 5 to 9 and stop as I promised my roomie I will go to bed at 10 although I hate that as eleven o clock pm is actually my own bedtime. I wish at times I were two people here. lol lol lol

The first email that I have made are full of messages. I am tired of deleting it so I made a new one. Now, my new email has more messages again. I'm too lazy to delete some of the useless items in my inbox. It takes time and I don't have the patience on it.hehe

Honestly, i dont. Before whenever I open my email, it shows that I have 3000 unread messages. But now, I managed to customized my email using filter. So I have separate folder for facebook, friendster, jobstreet, bank etc. everyday I get to receive more than 20 email. Then I go to each folder and check if something is interesting then delete those old jobstreet notification. I just leave others as is. Now, I only have 1000 plus unread messages. Yehey.. I don't like my inbox empty. Because there might come a time that I need to check an old message in my email.
