Open Thread: How Do You Handle Your Email?12 June 2009, 4:57 amHow many hours per day do you spend reading, writing, or sorting through email? If you’re like most freelancers, I’ll bet it’s a huge amount of time. Most of us work primarily over the web, and those who don’t are still bound by the need to communicate via email.
From customer inquiries, to ongoing products, to just plain spam — the volume of email crossing the average freelance desk is considerable. What’s worse, most of that email needs a response. It’s no wonder there are so many resources and products dedicated to email productivity.
In this open thread, let’s examine the issue a little closer. By pooling our resources and knowledge we can probably help everyone save a bit of time or find a clever way to boost productivity. See if you can answer these questions in the comments:
What platform do you use for email? e.g. Outlook, Gmail, Mail.app, etc.
What productivity tools do you use? Filtering, folders, add-ons, etc.
What is your favorite email productivity tip, tool, or resource?
