My goal, for my work e-mail, is to keep the inbox under 50 messages with as few as possible unread. I use the flags and color coding a bunch for outstanding issues. I'm horrible about clearing out my sent mail.
We have limits on how much we can store, but if we move messages to personal files, then we can keep a ton.
Working with gmail for my personal e-mail has been such a different experience. No folders is confusing, but I like being able to star messages and I like having conversations kept together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, fine. I just filed a bunch of email.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
People clean out Sent folders? Really? Huh.

If an email still has a pending task associated with it, it stays in the inbox with a due-date flag. Anything I need to keep as a record goes into a subfolder. Everything else is deleted almost immediately.

I can't handle having unread email. If I don't want to read it, then I delete it.

Yep. If it's important, I archive it; if it's not, I delete it.

Firefox and Chrome both support the Folders4Gmail extension.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I used to when I had 100MB of mail storage, back in the dark ages of 3 weeks ago (whence the fact that my entire department started unofficially forwarding everything to gmail.)

I'll move stuff to a sent folder if I want a record on when and to who I sent something, or of the version I sent them. Usually submissions to a client. Otherwise I don't bother with it. But I'm annoyed that our default is now that anything over 30 days gets deleted - being able to grab stuff from there has come in handy any number of occasions.

God, never. I get twitchy at the little envelope indicator, or the light on the BB.
