I keep all e-mails, sometimes it is years later that I need to refer to stuff I thought I would never need again. Use Outlook and Archive everything away after a short period, that automatically clears your inbox, no filing needed - far too much hassle. Why bother filing stuff in different folders? On Outlook (and Gmail) you can simply use the search function. I agree with the two minute rule. For further processing I use Outlook categories. Files that are marked to-do show up in your task list (Outlook Tasks) - so even though it is the e-mail it will be a part of your regular to-do list. For projects simply add a category with the project name. That sounds like a whole lot less work than what was proposed in the above article. Make use of your productivity tools, man. I disagree.

You may have heard of tools that help you follow up on emails but none of them help with filing. If you use Outlook you should definitely give <a href="http://www.baydin.com/boomerang/" rel="nofollow">Boomerang</a> a try. It gives you the option to action an email at a later time by temporarily sending it to another folder in Outlook. This tool will also be available for Gmail users soon.
