Tips & Tricks 1Use the available & free technology in your favor:
– use a Client email tool (like Mozilla Thunderbird);
– Set it up so you can access your email from more than one computer (IMAP)
– Set it up so it does the organizing work for you (or almost!)
– Webmail has also a few options for organizing your email.
