How to empty an inbox
Perform these three steps to empty any e-mail inbox.
Step 1: Delete all the spam. (Users should set up mail filters to automatically delete
some of the more frequent spam messages, but they’ll always have to delete some
spam by hand.) The next section, How to Delete Spam, explains this step in detail.
Step 2: Read any personal mail from friends or family, then do whatever you want
with it — print or save it somewhere else on the computer — after which you must
delete those messages from the inbox. (Corporate users may have to skip this step if
they’re not allowed to receive personal e-mail at work.)
With the first two steps completed, the remaining messages in the inbox are
somewhere between too irrelevant to read (spam) and too relevant to delay reading
(personal mail).
In preparation for Step 3, make sure that the inbox messages are sorted by date, with
the oldest message on the top of the list.
Step 3: Open each message, from top to bottom of the inbox, engage it — that is,
take some action — then delete it from the inbox. When this step is done, the inbox
will be empty.
Step 3 in detail: How to engage an e-mail
The specific action for engaging an e-mail depends on the type of e-mail. At this
point, remember, spams and personal mails are already gone from the inbox. The
three remaining types of e-mails are newsletters, FYIs, and to-dos.
