I'm always looking for new ways to process email more effectively. I talked a little about this at a recent conference in Sweden.

I've done blog posts on how my Outlook folders are setup in Getting ...

I'm so delighted to see an email with subject ''Congratulations Microsoft MVP'' in my mailbox this morning!
