Thank you for sharing. The concept of three folders is interesting, yet perplexing.

When I open and email a few things will occur. Straight away it is deleted, after reading it is moved to the appropriate folder, such as the project working on, an entity corresponding with, named persons folders, and the like, but not a Done folder. It would seem the Done folder would quickly fill with a gazillion unsorted emails. My question, because of Outlook search capabilities are you indicating one should hold all finished emails in Done then use Outlook Search only?

Though I am a very active OneNote user, my mind cannot find a reason for moving emails there. To me it would be just another place holding information. Yes, I have emailed information to OneNote, however never understood a need for forwarding received emails from Outlook client to OneNote. Truly, I must be missing something important, why one would need or want forwarding emails from their email client to OneNote?

Thank you for sharing. I am going to start slow: adding INBOX2 - this will help me in decision fatigue as I get caught up on the thousands of emails I have.
