Overwhelmed with Email
Lately, I've not been able to keep up with email. This is particularly difficult for me because I've always prided myself on responding to emails quickly. Some ideas I have to solve the problem are:
- Making my responses shorter.
- Have some sort of autoresponse that tells people that I'm busy and that I will eventually respond.
- Respond to questions in the FAQ portion of my blog so that I don't answer the same questions multiple times.
- Make a new systems of folders in Outlook.
Do any of you have an email system that works really well for you? If so, what are your secrets?

Michael,
Try to use Outlook as an email editor because you can create rule with folders that send emails directly to those folders as soon as they come in.
If you use online webbased mail system, you can still convert it to Outlook, with a few simple steps.
Regards,
Patricia
