I guess I operate my email like many other would be ‘Make money onliners’. I use Thunderbird as my email client. It’s very functional, easy to learn, from the Mozilla family and best of all it’s a free product. I like to keep in touch with the MMO market and am subscribed to rather too many lists. It seems that with the current trend safe swaps are used every which means that many days you get offered freebies by super copywriters. The upshot is that I have way too many emails to deal with on a daily basis and that’s after getting rid of the rubbish that is simply the same freebie repackaged.
I have recently invested in a great email filtering tool. It puts stuff in a later folder so I can prioritise and know that the ‘later folder’ can be dealt with in a speedier manner because I have set it as a lower priority. The system also has reminder facilities that allows you to schedule when a mail should re-appear or when to chase someone from whom a reply has yet to be received. You can get a free 14 trail and a $5 coupon to Sanebox (just click).
