Got a Full Email Box?
Now that I have a phone on which I can actually read something from the web. I’ve found the beauty of being able to keep with important email when I’m not in my office. The problem is that if I don’t preplan I also have to keep up with the in flow of email I can’t address at the moment. One amazing chunk is spam comments that hit my blog in a literally constant stream via my moderation queue.
So when I came across the How-To Geek’s remedy, I stopped to give it a read. I think you should do the same. I’m about to try it out. It sure looks to be an elegant solution.
