Robert Scoble on email management

June 5th, 2007 by Randy Stewart, Product Manager

Tim Ferris over at the Huffington Post posted a video as well as some tips from Robert Scoble about how to deal with 10,000 or more messages a day. Man… now, there’s email overload.

Robert’s tips center around Microsoft Outlook which he has been using since 1990 and include

  • Keeping all Outlook .PST files under 2GB in size to optimize speed and prevent crashes.
  • Removing infrequently used .PST files.
  • Renaming or appending frequently-used folders to appear at the top of the list.
  • Responding to fewer e-mail is the holy grail.

We’d love to help you with your email overload problem, Robert. We’ll talk soon about some work we’re doing with Outlook.
