Like "promotions", "social", and "primary"? Or a roll up service like "Unroll.me"? I don't know how I handled email before Unroll.me. Then again I get a lot of junk email, some of which I occasionally <i>want</i> but most of which I don't. I do love using folders though. And using the star feature for important emails. It's much easier to find emails you want/need when they are in the correct folder and starred, if they are important. <br /><br />It's crazy to think how much email has changed in the past 10 or so years. Even crazier if you think about further back than that! Wonder how it will change in the next 10 years? Will it become more intuitive? Or will it be more of a privacy risk?Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415510811585368037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-11208012622631719222018-10-01T01:12:30.223-04:002018-10-01T01:12:30.223-04:00Interesting!

But then again, I'm always far behind when it comes to technological stuff. I do, however, have multiple e-mail accounts: two for my two jobs, one for my personal e-mail account, and one for my blog account. Partly it's because I'm afraid that if I put them all in the same account, I might accidentally reveal my online alter ego as Neurotic Workaholic, and incidentally, that did happen once when I sent an e-mail to my students; fortunately, none of them seemed to notice or care because they didn't say anything about it.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-65944859333219535302018-09-28T18:21:55.617-04:002018-09-28T18:21:55.617-04:00Yes, I organize my emails.

I also have multiple email addresses - personal, business, author, reviewer, junk (although I do find they overlap e.g. people will send a review request to my business or personal email, because that's the address they have). <br /><br />I also use a free tool called Boomerang to help manage emails I don't need to deal with right now e.g. review requests. And yes - I still haven't reviewed your book! I haven't been reading as many craft books this year, but that means I now I have a backlog and need to get on top of them.
