How do you manage your email?
Armando:
superboyac : I edited the post where I explained how I manage my emails... Your post reminded me of 3 categories/folders I almost never use. :-[
The fact is : I don't have much to delegate, not much to refer to (I use x1)... I do use the "waiting for..." one quite a bit though.
For important emails that I need to respond to but need to defer I'll often just create a special task/todo. I like to have all important stuff in ONE and only ONE place... OK, maybe 2 : Task-todo list (containing next actions, really), and calendar.

Yes, it seems like you and I think alike about a lot of things! But I thought you were a big fan of Archivarius? How come you are using X1? I haven't used X1 in over a year, but I totally preferred Archivarius over it. Let me know, because I totally forgot that I can use an indexer, so I'm probably going to set one up soon to use with Outlook.

I've found a little utility called Poppy for Windows to be worth it's weight in gold. I can preview and optionally kill anything before it gets to my local mailbox, so only what I want gets downloaded. The real beauty of the thing is its simplicity. It's also the only tray/popup notifier I've ever used that works reliably and doesn't cause problems on my machine. Other mail apps may do more - but this little guy does exactly what I want.

A design goal of Poppy was to keep it as simple as possible. Only the most essential features were added to Poppy to make it easy to use without all kinds of bells and whistles. This approach also contributes to the fact that Poppy is small and will not interfere with your day to day work.
Initially, the only purpose of Poppy was e-mail notification. Since the introduction of version 4.x of Poppy. I decided to add more advanced features. Poppy is still very small however and the new features do not interfere with it's main purpose, which is still be e-mail notification.
Here is a list of the features of Poppy:
* Checks multiple POP3 accounts for new mail.
* Uses the taskbar icon to indicate that mail is waiting.
* A configurable interval between checks of the POP3 account.
* A a convenient popup menu to reach all functions and configuration.
* Play a sound when new mail has arrived on any account.
* Play a different sound for each account.
* Execute an external program when new mail has arrived.
* Show a non-interfering popup window when new mail has arrived.
* Automatically hide the popup window, without user intervention.
* Always notify or only when new mail has arrived.
* Always notify or only when mail from a friend has arrived.
* Dialog to display 'From' address and subject of each message.
* View the headers of an e-mail message.
* Preview the source of an e-mail message.
* Delete e-mail messages from POP3 servers.
* Select and/or unselect messages based on selection rules.
* Only notify based on the selection rules.
* Check e-mail headers against an anti-SPAM DNS blacklist.
* Option to automatically delete SPAM messages
* It is small and easy to use.
