I manage 20 email address and have them synced to my iPhone. However, after a while, I have started to notice this “convenience” may not be good thing after all. This wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t receive close to 250 emails per day. This is where stress comes into the equation. See, technology + work x 20 email accounts = stress. I could easily disable notifications and still be able to access all email from my phone. I could remove various email accounts and not worry about them so often. I could get rid of mobile email all together. The truth is, even if I removed all my accounts, in the back of my mind, I will know they are out there somewhere. With technology so easily available and marketed by “convenience” these days, it is hard (at least for me) not to stay stressed. So, while technology advances and we are able to do more and more on-the-go, I foresee more and more stress related to this so-called “convenience” offered. I’m just talking about email right now. Try to factor in Facebook and Twitter and you’re on a whole other topic. What do you think? |

Use EmailTray which has 4 Inboxes and sorts mail from all accounts by priority. Its very accurate, especially in determining what goes into the Top Priority Inbox, which is what you'll probably want alerts for (a woman saying "You've Got Top Priority Mail"). If you read or delete an email in EmailTray, it will be marked read and/or deleted back at its source, whether inside Gmail, AOL, Outlook, Yahoo, Hotmail or any IMAP account. This saves you from having to process the same emails in different places. You can browse and delete every spam mail from all your various spam boxes all at once and every day instead of logging in once per month to each webmail account to see what got caught in the spam box that shouldn't have gotten caught. |
