Clearing up a cluttered Inbox Part 3 – Newsletters

I used to get a ton of e-mail newsletters, industry news and other long, detailed, "read later" information in my inbox.  The obvious step one to cleaning up these types of e-mails is to unsubscribe from the ones I don't read.  That alone save me a bunch of e-mail!

Next, I didn't want them cluttering my inbox.  I want to read them when I decide I have time to read them.  For that, I turn to my old friend; the Outlook folder and the Outlook rule.

For me, I created a folder called @Lists to hold this type of "read me later" e-mail.  @Read works just as well. 

To create a rule that moves certain messages to my @Lists folder, I right click on the e-mail, select Create Rule... Then, Check the From and the Move e-mail to folder checkboxes.  Lastly, click Select folder and find the @Lists folder.

That's it.  No more newsletters cluttering my inbox.
