I found an interesting blog post about a guy sorting his Gmail messages, etc. The blog post is called
machetes way out of the email jungle and here is an abstract from this post:
Tonight, I took care of something that I have been dreading for a while now. I organized my Gmail inbox. Oh, when I first got Gmail, I was a good little Gmail user. I tagged everything as soon as it came in and archived old conversations and actually kept up with what I had starred (and removed the stars once I took care of the email). But somewhere between the holidays and getting heavily involved with gaming/writing/SWG/SCA (and the myriad emails of each) and being busy at work, my usual time to take care of email, then I stopped taking care of my inbox. And it was starting to resemble a jungle. I'd star an email, and it would be pushed out of my inbox before I could answer it. Then, of course, I would forget about it, and it would never get answered. Yikes.
How many of you use Gmail? I think it's currently one of the best mails if not the best one.
