RE: Keeping up w/list Email

Liberal use of Outlook filters and AutoArchive. I generally scan the list of threads each morning, and follow the ones that look interesting, usually ignore the rest (unless it's a slow day). AutoArchive cleans out everything more than a week old whether I've read it or not, to an off-line .PST where I can search it.

I know all the "cool kids" hate Microsoft, but Outlook truly rocks, I'm never going back to Pine or Netscape.

Not sure how others handle getting behind on mail, but work lately leaves me precious little time to keep up. Just spent the better part of a month clawing back through 6000 odd messages that queued up after a period away from the list.

My curiosity lies w/how others handle the situation. I've always been reluctant to can the folder contents, as there's always gems hidden in there somewhere. Now I'm totally caught up and it's a bloody big relief. Gems were there too. :-)

Anyone find themselves in the same boat from time to time or do you just click, shift+left mouse and delete em' all?
