Depending if your mail is internal or not, route all external messages or messages not from certain domains to an external filter. Check that less often. When you meet with people who email you a lot, sort your inbox by person, and with the list in front of you take a moment to ask them “is there anything you’ve sent me that we need to talk about?” Set up alerts /notifications for VIPs.
