I have done a good job of consolidating a few personal email addresses all to one single Yahoo account. My biggest gripe is that I subscribe to a few mailing lists. When they come, I don’t always feel like looking at it, so I keep it and plan to look at it later. As a matter of fact, I do that with regular email too, as I’ll read it then plan to reply later that day. It’s easy to forget because a few hours later when I check it, another batch of new mail has come in and I forget about the stuff from a few hours ago.

The situation at work is even worse. Each individual address is connected to a “catch all,” meaning an email sent to one person goes to everybody’s email inbox. Coming back from a weekend, or worse, a three-day weekend, I’ll have 150 or 200 email messages, sometimes with only a handful meant for me, or none of them at all.
