(this depends on Mac OS X Apple Mail)

I do not have an inbox anymore for the last two years. All my incoming =20=

mails are filtered to a dated folder with the pattern YYYY/MM.

I have a big list of "smart mailbox". These are virtual mailboxes, =20
just a view depending on specific metadata (subject, mail headers, =20
keywords, etc.). I can create or destroy them at will. For example, =20
all the mailing-lists have their own virtual mailboxes. And sometimes =20=

for some specific people, I create virtual maiboxes.

I read my emails as usual or sometimes just scanning.  For mailing =20
lists if the topic doesn't interest me, I just mark as read.

Then when I know I need to reply to an email, I put a flag on it. The =20=

net results is that I have not lost an email since. I can take time to =20=

reply depending on the type of emails, but I have always replied what =20=

I should have replied.

This specific email was flagged (aka to reply) for the last day. ;)
