Email is not dead. It is the record layer for work, purchases, support, legal notices, receipts, newsletters, and account recovery. The goal is to separate action from archive before the inbox becomes a junk drawer.
How to approach it: A good inbox has lanes: needs action, waiting, reference, receipt, newsletter, and safe-to-delete.

→ Frequently asked
Email, answered.
Practical answers for the decisions people make before changing settings, sharing files, or resetting the tool.
Q.01Are labels better than folders?+
Labels are better when one email belongs to several contexts. Folders are simpler when every message has only one home.
Q.02What should filters handle?+
Receipts, newsletters, alerts, recurring reports, client messages, and anything predictable enough to route safely.
Q.03How many email accounts should I use?+
Use separate accounts or aliases when the risk, identity, or workflow is different enough to justify it.
Q.04What is the first email security habit?+
Pause before attachments, login links, payment requests, and urgent account warnings.
