OK here's what i did (this is gmail btw, i dunno how other services work)GEExCEE posted:you just delete all the old stuff you obviously don't need that's the first step, more or less. you mark EVERYTHING read, then mark unread any recent stuff that matters the second, longer step is to manually click "next" for the 100 or so most recent emails and if any have an unsubscribe button hit it here's the key though: TURN OFF PRIORITY INBOX. it's a gimmick and makes your inbox less useful. set your gmail to its default vanilla settings where emails are either read or unread (not marked important, that's stupid, every email should be important or not exist). google ruined the idea of email with priority inbox, u should answer all your emails not just important ones, it's a dumb feature that encourages you to let your inbox fill up with junk and only look at the important ones at the top the final ongoing step is to always unsubscribe from email services you hate instead of just ignoring or marking them read. that's just a behavioral change, but if you keep up with it you'll become better at answering emails, and you'll actually enjoy email as a tool again like you did in 2004 instead of it being a horrifying junk yard of text smoobles fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Feb 5, 2016 ---------------- |
