What tricks do you use to manage your e-mail?

Don't save things just for the sake of "reading them later" because you never will. ;-)

Don't put off taking action on small items in your email - just do it and then delete the email. That will leave more room in your inbox for the pressing issues. My goal at work is to never have more than 20 messages in my inbox. I don't always maintain this goal, but I usually manage to get it back down to 20 when it exceeds that number.

File, file, file. I work with folks who have 5,000 messages in their inbox - ugh! Create folders and file emails appropriately so you can find them again if you need them, but don't leave them in your inbox.

If you send a reply to a person, then they reply to you, and this keeps happening, if all of the previous messages are in the body of the latest email, delete all of the others.

Hope this helps!

Move to 2 of the lesser targeted email companies ( Hotmail is so well known loads of spam gets targeted toward it).

Use 1 of the email addresses for your GENERAL / BUSINESS email purchases etc and 1 for Family and friends...and for goodness sake set up a spam filter on both.

★★ BLOCKING SPAM AT YAHOO! ★★

◙ Below is an email message from Yahoo's Mail Abuse Team showing the correct ways to block spam in Yahoo Mail.

◙ We understand your concerns about receiving unsolicited email, and can certainly empathize with your frustration. Yahoo! Mail offers several tools to help you keep spam out of your Inbox. To find the following tools (except "This Is Spam") click on OPTIONS in your mail account.

◙ 1. "This is Spam" link -- The most effective way to prevent spam from entering your Inbox is to use the "This is Spam" link next to the "From" address in every message you consider spam. By sending examples of spam to Yahoo! for review, it will increase the effectiveness of Spamguard, Yahoo! Mail's filtering system. Yahoo! will use the messages you send to constantly improve the Spamguard technology and help ensure that unwanted messages are delivered to your Bulk Mail Folder rather than your Inbox.

◙ 2. Filters -- Yahoo! Mail offers you the ability to create filters for your account. You can create filters to deliver emails to a special folder, or to the Trash folder that:

* contain specific words or phrases

* are from a sender's domain

* contain other characteristics you find in spam

◙ Learn more about setting up filters at the Help Desk, located at:

☞ http://help.yahoo.com/help/mail/manage/manage-06.h...

◙ 3. Block an address -- Use this feature to block email addresses you do not want to receive email from. When an address is blocked, incoming email from these addresses will be automatically disposed of, without bouncing back to the sender. When you remove an address from your Blocked Addresses list, you will once again be able to receive mail

from that address. For directions on how to block an email address, please visit:

◙ 4. Report the spam -- If you receive harassing or unwanted mail from what appears to be a "@yahoo.com" address, you can forward the message directly to us for review at:

a...@yahoo.com

◙ Please include an unedited copy of the original message along with the full Internet headers. To learn how to display full headers in Yahoo! Mail, please visit:

☞ http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/config/config-1...

◙ If you receive unwanted mail from a non-"@yahoo.com" address, you may try contacting the sender's email provider by identifying the sender's domain and contacting the administrator of that domain. Unfortunately, Yahoo! has no control over activities outside its service, and therefore we cannot take action in these situations. The sender's provider should be in a better position to take appropriate action against the sender's account.
