I'm a simple soul: for Outlook I use the "categories" feature to label mail (in coming and outgoing). When it's possible to use a rule to assign the category in predictable circumstances (certain people only ever send me email on one topic), I do that. I use the reminder flag (no chime) for actionable emails, and everything that I don't need right now or have processed is dropped into an offline mail folder, with associated "smart" folders to pull up relevant categories. The only thing to do is to watch the folder size because Outlook gets squirrely at 2GB/folder. » POSTED IN:
