I agree with CM Harrington....
I agree with CM Harrington. MailTags, along with Main ActOn and smart folders is amazing. I am getting my masters online and as a result I get a ton of email that needs to be reviewed and sorted quickly. Besides my Inbox, I have got to folders where I keep everything…one for school, and one for everything else. I have a series of Smart Folders set up to pull content with certain MailTags. I also have a Smart Folder for all unread mail. I check new mail there and have forced myself to get into the habit of tagging it after I read it. Once it is read and tagged, it sits in my Inbox. Then on Sunday, I use Mail ActOn to clear out the Inbox. Everything resides in either the Archive or School Folder, but can be reviewed in whatever Smart Folder is applicable.
