  • Great video! Would you reccomend using gmail for your emails rather than anything else? I think that search tool you showed us looks extremely useful!

  • yes - gmail is awesome. Just forward all of your current email accounts there and start using it. No other email program compares...and it's free!

  • I hear ya Heidi, but if I did that I'd need 2,000 folders I think...I started using my system when my folder count got ridiculous and I was forced to stop using them. It's less work now so I thought I'd share the tip. Different strategies work for different people though I'm sure. I know I spend a lot less time on email now that I've let the search feature do the work of finding old messages for me.

  • Oh my gosh, Once again, you've given me a HUGE tip PLUS a time saver, as I am BURIED in folders in MSNt, although I am trying to switch over to Gmail gradually. I've been so busy I never took time to learn more on how to work with Gmail.. I can forward my MSN emails to my Gmail accounts, and then my MSN account will by way nicer to work in. I may eventually do some work out of one gmail account for business purposes, but now my MSN account is going to be SO NICE to work in.

  • Sorry, you're incorrect, there are limitations as to how much email information can be held, whether that's gmail, yahoo, godaddy, even Outlook.

  • Excellent system...I was just cleaning my email the other day as if it was a precious baseball card collection or the deed to my home. I'll try this out, but probably keep a few files.

    Thanks

  • Gmail isn't that perfect when you mark something as 'not spam'. I have had to get messages from the same people/newsletters over and over again each week out of my spam folder and I do mark them as not spam.

    Good tips but my folders are highly organized so I will continue to use them. I don't just use a first name or a last name but the whole name, if it is a newsletter from a company I use the company name in full and so on.
