Inbox Zero E-mail Management

I may be late in finding this, but I have been living it for about 3 years now. Inbox Zero is great for everyone, and programs like Apple Mail and GMail make it easy because you can Archive messages in a single folder and search them easily. It’s interesting to peek at another person’s Inbox (without looking at the content) to see if they are an Inbox Zero person or not.

I think half the fun of watching this video is tracking the GenX/GenY speak of Merlin Mann, who operates 43 Folders. “The default state of an e-mail should not be ‘keep sitting here until I start weeping’.”

The one thing that I haven’t quite been able to do well is scheduling meetings with people not on the same computer network. Come to think of it, I never figured out how to do it on the same network either. I looked at some tools below that are emerging that let you do that. I think the most promising looking one is Timebridge. They are also part of the iCal consortium, which supports calendaring standards.
