clean out my email inbox

I realized that I have easily 4,000 messages in my combined inboxes of three email accounts.

The sad part is that I took a really good course from Priority Training that had a really great system for managing your inbox called Working Smarter with Microsoft Outlook.

So it needs to be done!

Filters are all set and I am back in control of the electronic overload.

I plan on finishing this goal today. Apparently I didn’t have some of the filters set right because the email came through anyway. I think I had incorporated the date of the day when I did it the first time.

I can nearly mark this off I took some time today to set up my email to capture email that I always just automatically delete to go straight into the trash file w/o having to every “touch” it. Being that I get nearly a staggering amount of email daily there, this should help the head banging process. Tomorrow I will continue this and then I can consider this a success!

I have several mailboxes I need to break this down into the wide assortment.
1. Public email for general stuff and junk done
2. Private email for family and local friends done
3. Email for loved sites and friends done
4. Email for some I have met online and added to the mix of life done
5. Business email done
6. Work email

I have too many email addresses. Less is more philosophy here too?

It feels nice to have achieved this and got rid of all the junk cluttering up the pages and hiding my meaningful emails from friends. I’m glad also to have got things all organised into certain files, it makes it so much easier for an easily muddled mind like mine.

and it feels f**king wonderful. I wrote replies to lots of wonderful people, which made me grateful for my extended circle of friends. I deleted things I didn’t need anymore. I followed links sent to me of fabulous art, literature and other nifty neato things online.

which feels nice. Now, I’m getting to the emails I kept meaning to return but never did for whatever reason, but felt to guilty to clear out of my inbox. I’m also cleaning out various “mailboxes” of emails I don’t need anymore. Feels good in a anal retentive kind of way.

i have like 3000 emails!
i really need to sort it outt
if only i could be bothered.

Is there a way to delete all or select messages in my Inbox? I can only do a page at a time and at that rate I will never get it done.
