So I am looking at a better way to organize my email. Currently I am organizing my email into folders. It sucks for a number of reasons…
- it takes a while
- You can use nested folders but you are stuck in the heiarchy
- The email is stuck with just one folder
The solution is to organize emails using Outlook catagories and Saved Search Folders that pull out all of the emails with a praticular. All you have to do is catagorize the emails and then they appear in the Search Folder. Since you can have more than one catagory for an item, it can appear in more than one folder.
This post gives a good overview of the process:
