Email has to be one of my biggest problems. I find myself spending hours and hours trying to keep my mail-box under the limit and organized....Here are a few tricks I use...
I use my Outlook Express "FIND" feature, to find all those spent emails. Every time I complete a transaction, I search the Item number in the title's and messages. Then delete all the messages right in the find window. Except of course for the Paypal notifications...which I always move to a dedicated folder.This works pretty good for the most part, but there will always be all those emails mentioned that have no item number, and messages that barely mean anything...These drive me nuts!
Another thing I have done is created tons of specific folders in my mailbox....Ebay, Paypal, bidpay etc....and ones for people that I have regular correspondence with...and a lot of emails from. (like my good repeat customers).
This seems to help sort things out. But will still always be a battle to keep up with.....
