Links on emptying the inbox

Following up on Disbelief in information overload, two quick pointers on emptying the inbox:

Lifehacker polled readers about whether "emptying your email inbox [is] worth it." 44% yes, 38% sometimes, 18% no. The yeas have it.

• And from the Microsoft Exchange team, suggestions on reducing inbox count in order to optimize the performance of the tool.

I think the Lifehacker question os more of a hypothetical to many people. I'd love if they followed up with "and have you ever done this?"

To optimize the performance of your computer and to keep control of your email: DON'T USE OUTLOOK.

How does not using Outlook help?

Not use Outlook? The IT dept. will love that suggestion...
