Some go into a general folder, others to their own. The idea is that the only thing that goes directly to my main inbox is the meat that I need straight away. Like John I get round to the bacn if and when I have time or when I need to research a particular topic - there are thousands of emails I have not yet read and when I have time I will do some unsubscribing. As it is these unwanted messages are out of sight and not bothering me. I use Thunderbird and can quickly create filters to automatically send bacn to different inbox folders.

I use Eudora as my primary email client and have hundreds of filters in place as well as several dozen in-boxes, so I can deal with high-priority email first and eventually work my way down the pile and deal with the "bacn" when I have the time and energy. You're right that the "bacn" email is wanted, but usually isn't a high- or medium-priority. Thanks for the chuckle and for a name I can call those emails. Act on your dream!

It really saves a lot of time. I actually purchased a email spam software that checks for spam and then sorts everything else into two piles, urgent and not urgent. It really saves a lot of time.
