Wow ! 306 spam ! I honestly don't think I've gotten that much spam in
all my accounts the entire time I've been online (since 2001) ! But then I lead a boring life.
Anyway, and FWIW, just like in my FM account (or any other folder-based system) I have every saved email in
some folder (rather than keeping it indefinitely in the inbox), I also make it a habit to label
everything I get in Google Apps instead of simply committing it to the abyss, er, archive. I've already read elsewhere (EMD forums) where some people ask, "How can I easily find my email without a label in Gmail ?" It's hard to search for such things, even with Gmail's search capabilities, AFAIK.
I think it would make it a lot easier for people who get tons of email (gigabytes worth) to find something later on if they come up with
some label ("Miscellaneous," "Unlabeled," "Everything Else," "The Brig," or whatever). That way one can easily find all these otherwise 'uncategorized' emails without wading through everything in "All Mail."
Do you think this is this a good idea ?
