I don't know if I "struggle" with email, but emails often stay in my inbox for days or weeks. I sort and organize them a bit, though. I'm a researcher and most of my email is from frequent collaborators whom I know well, or automated academic stuff. Reason #1: Some emails I expect to not be able to respond to for some time. We're discussing a project and I need some hours to think about it, read papers, etc. before I respond. These threads go for months (with many meetings interspersed). Reason #2: I like email to double as reminders or to-dos (though I also keep a to-do list). So for example an automated email reminding me to review a paper by May 20. I won't archive that until I've done the review. (Edit: I like the idea of sorting every email when I open my client, if not archiving it. I just don't get enough email for this to be a problem.)
