Macworld: Feature: The inbox makeover

A couple articles I wrote will be appearing in the June, 2005 issue of MacWorld, including this piece on overhauling your approach to email.

Each e-mail message in your inbox demands your time and attention. Filters and rules are great for reducing some of that demand, shunting easily defined mail such as e-newsletters and personal notes to their appropriate folders. But important e-mail messages are often hard to define and organize with automatic, rules-based management. They require filters and rules that reside only in your brain.

Here are a few archived posts where I started talking about some of these ideas, and where there’s a bit more detail on email and Entourage for folks who enjoyed the MacWorld article:
