Unread Mail (2399), How to deal with this mess?

[vbampton]

I knocked off hundreds from the _Inbox_Backlog folder yesterday, I'll spend another 1/2 hour today on that.

That's worth celebrating! And don't forget to plan a small reward for finishing too...

Sorting by subject is also a useful step to clear through backlogs, to easily identify a string of emails in a conversation, then you can kill off 29 and keep the one at the top.

Day 3 leaving with an empty in box and loving it.

Congratulations!
I found that inbox zero was one of the biggest wins of my early GTD endeavours. It is the one habit that I have had very little trouble maintaining as it is just way too good to lose!
