CindyH: I'm doing my weekly e-mail sorting, but as fast as I sort, delete or respond, NEW mail comes in! I try do a daily sorting, but the tryanny of the urgent means I never get beyond yesterday's mail. I started the morning with 194 e-mails in my inbox and am finally down to 147. But that's both work and personal e-mail. I'm getting fairly desperate here. Next week a friend is coming over to show me how to set up Outlook or some other e-mail management system.
Question (from Cindy): How do you folks manage your e-mail?
