KEEP YOUR INBOX CLEAN
While some enjoy seeing 4000 messages in their inbox, some like to run a clean shop and just have what still needs to be taken care of in their inbox.
How do you keep your inbox clean?
There are 2.5 ways to accomplish this objective.
One option: Delete an email when your are done.
This is not the generally recommended option, since you can not reference a deleted item at a later date.
Another option: File the email into a folder
To create a folder: When in Gmail > Select “MORE” from the list of labels on the left side > Select “CREATE NEW LABEL” > Enter name of new label > Select “CREATE”
To move an email into the folder: Drag the email to the desired label
A similar option to file: Archive the email
Archived emails will quickly get it out of the inbox, which works especially well on the cell phone. To find an archive email: Select “MORE” from the list of labels on the left side > Select “ALL MAIL” > Search for what you are looking for
SKIP THE INBOX
