The Workplace Email Inbox
Posted by Rebecca Fri, 23 Mar 2007 15:24:00 GMT
At work, I have a mouse with a scroll wheel. I love the scroll wheel. I use it often, usually to scroll up and down a web page or in my email inbox.
It’s been a very busy week, and I noticed just now that I have to scroll six times to get from the top of my email inbox to the bottom of my email inbox.
This is six times too many.
I am a firm believer in not scrolling in the email inbox. What I mean by this is that in a single glance I should be able to see all my current email messages. I’ve enlarged the window and I still can’t do it.
Most of the messages have been handled in some way, they just haven’t been filed. I personally don’t like this because if an unanswered email message is buried in a pile of messages that have been dealt with, I don’t always notice it, even if I flag it.
So, this afternoon, I’m hoping to clean out my email inbox and get it back to where it should be…scroll-less.
