Also find out about your firm's document retention policies and practices. - pick an organizing philosophy and stick with it for a month before revising (refactoring) it or ditching it. - I organized my filters around a modified 7 habits of highly effective people approach: mail from above was urgent, mail from colleagues was important, mail from outside that set was not important unless I'd participated in the chain, and everything else was not urgent & not important and frequently ignored entirely.
