If you are a gmail user, one extremely useful add-on in gmail is something called filters. Filters allow you to apply labels to specific mail, creating a folder-like organizing effect. For example, if you wanted to make every message sent from my domain (@gpmwebsolutions.com) be flagged with a specific label/folder, you have the ability to do this.
Setting up filters is pretty straightforward. Here is a tutorial explaining filters made by gmail’s help team. Tutorial on Creating Filters in Gmail.
Filters are useful for not only organizing but also filtering out spam. I recently moved my mailbox all to one place for 3 different email addresses. During the process of the switch, I ended up having 4000 messages marked as unread in my mailbox. Using filters, I was able to organize this mailbox in what one would think would take days in a couple hours. This is because you can flag specific email addresses to forward straight to a filter folder and skip the inbox. I found myself doing this for emails sent from Amazon, Best Buy, Ebay, Paypal, etc.
