A great reminder that I have gotten overly complicated and overly lazy on my email wrangling again. Since I am down with an "undisclosed illness," I will have more time on my hands to do so. Thanks for another great video! EDIT: I also forgot to add this suggestion to someone who might be looking for it: Create a tab for CC'd and BCC'd emails. We all know those people we work with that will CC or even BCC people at random because they might have some sort of information when it actually doesn't apply at all. As long as you check the tab every once in a while, you will see your inbox actually clears up faster for sure!

Not exactly related, but this video got me thinking, do you have tips/tricks in gmail for deleting old emails which are no longer needed? It's hard finding which ones you no longer need. I don't want to keep increasing my storage space over time, so do you have any methods for this? Thanks BTW for your videos, I've implemented your email system and it's helped a LOT.

I never delete emails unless they have attachments that's over 10MB 😂

@AJ-fd3yj 8 ай бұрын

Hi there. Depending on what you need I see two possible scenarios. you can then easier-ish delete older ones. Maybe. 1) (auto) label email e.g. for each year from now on and look up older ones by search function. also use that to label them by context - e.g. work, travel, finances 2) use the archive function as usual - BUT add a "reference" label to those mails you *think* could turn out important later. sort out e.g. yearly or quarterly IDK about how users manage to max out their storage (15GB in my case as a free user, I'm at 15% including photos of my dogs and cats), so I think this could really help you. also unsubscribe from anything you really dont need. save attachments from emails and delete the mails do decrease inbox size. open another account and forward only needed attachments there - though IMO that wont really help with the clutter :D Good Luck and xoxo from Austria

@pablocruz9200 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for all of this helpful insight. I have multiple gmail accounts and have set up your gmail productivity inbox zero configurations. I’m a huge fan of gmail labels. My issue is that I have to set and manage all of these inboxes separately. Is there a way to incorporate this in an email client so I incorporate this inbox philosophy in aggregate, as opposed to separate gmail accounts? This will help me save a lot of time and I suspect many of your viewers have the same issue. 😊
