Email on the go is another thing I've used quite a lot before, but some of the discussions made me consider how and why I do things. I only use it for my personal email - not work (in part because the technicalities are beyond my desire for access, and in part because I only work part time - and it's too easy to do more work than I should as it is!)
For example, I'm very much a filter into folders person. Some things I want to know about immediately - like messages from the bloke. They're more likely to be things I need to know about immediately. So they stay in my inbox, and I get a notification on my phone. However, things from other people or organisations that I regularly get emails but they aren't time critical, get pulled into one of about 20 folders. I then chose at different times of the day (normally about 4 times, depending on how long I'm waiting outside a child's classroom, or in a queue) to check the ones I find most interesting. Some are only checked weekly.
I've also been unsubscribing to email lists - I do this on a regular basis, but the messages seem to keep on increasing. Some things I still keep receiving, but only because they're too hard to unsubscribe from (seriously, why should I have to provide a password to unsubscribe from a flood of information after I had to 'register' to purchase one item about 5 years ago. Why Fisher Price!!! You are now spam in my book!). I know now I should use a throwaway email address for that kind of thing...
I've also read with interest the discussion on how you sign off your name. And realised that with work emails, unless I have a personal relationship with the individual I don't leave a cheery greeting or anything like that. I state what I need to let them know, and then just sign my name (or for friends if it's a one liner, I just put my first Initial). Might be a bit blunt, but we're all busy and it's just one more piece of guff! This article by Matthew J.X. Malady says pretty much the same thing, in a more articulate way.
