Any tips on organising emails?

[daisie4]

My email account gets loads of marketing emails everyday, and they're mixed up with personal stuff so it needs a daily delete session. II don't want to unsubscribe as I get sent offers, or use this accounts for online shopping - has anyone got any tips for sorting it out and making it less onerous? Thanks x

Do you use Outlook? If so, you can set up rules so that emails from a particular sender go automatically into a folder (which you create) so that way you can go back to the folders and browse them at your leisure.

Alternatively, organise your emails by sender, which makes it easier to browse through to see who is contacting you.

But the best advice is to have a separate email account that you use for subscribing to offers, for shopping, etc. And don't give it out to actual people.

If you have a web address - hotmail/ymail/gmail etc, you can move junk mail into the junk mail folder before deleting them. Any subsequent emails from that organisation will always go into the junk/spam folder automatically.

USE GMAIL. It is a million times better than any of the alternatives and you can sort and filter mails to your heart's content.

Also, use a separate account for marketing/shopping/competitions etc. That way, all your spam is in one place and not mixed in with important personal emails. You can unsubscribe from the emails you're getting at the moment and resubscribe with the new address.

Hi, thanks for your comments, I think you're right in getting other email accounts, I've set a few new gmail ones up and will spend some time unsubscribing and re subscribing on another account. I have gmail, but didn't realise you could get emails to go directly into spam so will do this too. It just creeps up until its unmanageable - I just thought I'm spending so much time clearing ot my inbox everyday just to get to personal stuff.
