I go through my email and bucket them into roughly 4 folders: Archive, Action, Pending, [Project], where [Project] is can be replaced with the name of an actual project I’m working on. One way to quickly sort through these things is to create a global shortcut key in Mac OS X with the menu item being the name of the folder you want it to be sent to. For example, I have Ctrl+A binded to the menu item “Archive.” This subsequently sends a selected email to the Archive folder when pressed.
