More Email tips

I just got back from a week in Arizona - marvelous! So I decided to try the email tips I discussed in my last post and realized that I have a couple more tips that I use when I have a large number of email to review:

  1. Sort by name - it makes it easier to delete those unwanted emails or those that quickly accumulate - like those I received from Joann Fabrics or other businesses.
  2. Sort again - this time by subject matter. Now look for long strings of conversation. You may have been copied on a series of emails on one topic. Select the most recent and see if the string is in tact - in other words, that all of the other email with that subject title are included as part of a long string of messages on the most recent missive. If so - delete all the others - and now you have one email that has the whole conversation included.
  3. Do the four tips listed on my previous post.

There you have it - a quick way to review large numbers of email messages.
