The Email Tamer

Do you fight a constant battle with incoming email? Would you like to see an almost empty inbox again? Well, here’s something that will help you!

In my July newsletter I wanted to outline the merits of using a Filter or Rules Wizard in your email program. Probably the most widely used email program is Outlook but you may be using a different program – hopefully it will have the ability to do some, or all, of these things for you.
As a business operator you may find yourself working for more than one person and they may be located in many different departments or perhaps even states or countries. You may also find yourself working on more than one project for each person. Add to that your suppliers for different services, products and resources.

Along with your client support, you might also belong to several online forums, perhaps some user groups for different software, receive newsletters relating to things you’re interested in and so on.

So how do you handle all the email that comes in? Well, you can use the Rules Wizard (in the Tools menu for Outlook) to help sort through the email as it arrives. To read the full story, why not click on the link in the heading and read my July Newsletter?
