Does this sound familiar — You’ve responded to an email but aren’t ready to delete it, so it sits there. Multiply that by every “not yet” email, and you’re scrolling past message after message, re-deciding each one, just to find what still needs a response.
Instead, drag it into a folder titled the current year — “2026.” Your computer’s “search” feature finds it anytime you need it. What remains in your inbox are emails still needing a response — Your clear working container.
TIP: Treat folders like tax archives — keep 6 years, and each January, delete the oldest.
