'They' say the best way to clear your email inbox is to create folders and dump emails to their relevant folders.
Wrong!
In the past five years, I have been doing exactly that. Yes, it helps to store these emails in their respective boxes AFTER I have read them and decided what to do with them. However, channeling the emails into folders to read later, or to deal with at the time when they will be needed is, in my experience, the worst thing to do! Because I should have read them and deleted them a long time ago. Some of the emails have embedded videos which are not even available when I finally get to them.
So - the month of May is get rid of the damn-folders-in-my-email-account month for me.
Yo'll will be happy to note the first folder I have to address is titled John Assaraf, and it is full of his drip content john Assaraf, yes himself, dripped on me just because I signed up for a Neurogym experience! Truly,I have folders that will make any organised person proud of me - that is how detailed my folders system is. So let me tell you how I will address the content in the John Assaraf folder - I will be clicking on choose all and deleting that entire folder. Yo'll know that will save me more than the 8 hours I spent on on the Neurogym experience. So, here goes - unsubscribe, choose all, delete and delete folder. All in under one minute!
The best thing that Yahoo Mail has come up with, in my opinion, is the prompt on your phone the moment an email comes in, it gives you an option to 'Mark as Read' or to 'Delete'! Yes! Delete ! This keeps my email account in check and I no longer have to go back to read an email I really did not want to read, nor have it festering in my mailbox. So, Bravo! Yahoo Mail. Thank you.
