*bacn <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacn_(electronic)> - Most of these are automatically tagged and skip the inbox. When any new bacn makes it to my inbox, I set up a new filter to put it where it belongs. back burner - I go through and clear these out occasionally... It gives me somewhere to dump things I don't want in my inbox anymore, but which I haven't had time/motivation to deal with completely. lists - You guys, and all the other mailing lists I belong to. All mailing list messages skip the inbox, and it's really easy to mark all read on the days when I don't care. The next three have slashes in them, so Gmail treats them like subfolders in IMAP: services/accounts - All the initial sign up emails from services, social networks, and mailing lists I join. Lets me easily find usernames, account settings links, etc. services/finance - Paperless billing statements, anything finance related. Unlike most of my other tags, these aren't automatically archived. services/twitter - This one gets a lot more traffic than the others, so it gets a whole tag for itself. I periodically check for messages I care about then mark all as read. sms - I forward a lot of things to my phone as SMS. This tag keeps those emails around for posterity. Also, magically marks as read and archives. work work/freelance work/foo work/bar I don't use the work tags as much as I want to. I guess that means I should drop the ruse and get rid of these tags. I also tend use disposable tags when I'm getting a lot of email for something that has a fairly short-lived scope. I currently have two for testing a platform we're launching at work... These tags will be removed after a week or two. I also have a temporary one for responses to a couple of Craigslist posts I made. Once I don't care about them any more, that tag will also be removed. -- justin http://justinhileman.com -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
