I don't know; upwards of a 1000 if I had to guess. I never check it. Most of the emails I get are not pertinent. For example "if anyone has a spare file cabinet, the renal department is looking for one." Sometimes they are MIS related telling people the computer system will be down. I dont give a crap if its down. I can't use it and there is nothing I can do about it.

If anyone asks me if I recieved an email  from them, I tell them they need to tell me in person if you have something to say to me. The only people that would need to email me I talk to multiple times a day, so there really is no need.

Like Arrojo and the other dude, I keep my work Inbox clean.  I have < 10 items in there at the moment.

92 in my inbox.

Example of an email...

Hi Zina,

Here is the logo with larger CCL...

 


I'm assuming you do not want the word 'Company' in the logo...

Thanks a bunch.

my reply

reminiscent but not familiar... exactly opposite of the results I found...

too bad they didn't report herd characteristics, it would be interesting to know if population and demography trends/traits are also different...

I'd be interested too...

1. Much of my email is customer correspondence, including price quotes, etc. that I'll often refer to later. I keep both received and sent messages in folders by customer, and have other folders for company updates, things from my manager, etc.

Don't you other folks have some kind of folder/label system to get that stuff out of the inbox?

If not, the link Dervin posted really does have some useful info. I like the 4 D's method, and that's pretty much what I do.

I have action, archive, and hold folders and my emails are immediately filed to one of those folders as soon as I read it. It's the only way I can keep track of what I actually need to do, because I get most of projects through email.

I used to just have an inbox, but I got overwhelmed, and now I get twitchy if there is anything in my inbox at all...I've really become a little organizationally obsessive !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!.
