Two lab settings make all the difference when it comes to achieving inbox zero. The first is auto-advance.

Being forced into the next email in your inbox upon archiving the last, instead of back to the threadlist does wonders for keeping you in processing mode instead of constantly presenting you with the inbox.
The other is "Send and Archive":

This removes the second step of having to mentally re-process and archive a thread after you've already sent a reply to it.
While you're in labs you should probably enable undo send too if you haven't already.
- Andrex 14y agoDefinitely. Those are the two most important labs settings for me, it just makes the entire process so much more efficient that I'm unsure why they aren't default functionality.
- dasil003 14y agoFor the first one I just use the commands [ and ] which give you the flexibility of going either way through your list.
- krrrh 14y agoThat's definitely true for archiving. The auto-advance lab feature also introduces the behavior when muting or deleting. It's also nice if you've already built up a lot of muscle memory on 'y' or 'e' for archiving or are a home-row typist with weak pinkie fingers.
