Thanks for those insights in your workflow.

My workflow is very basic compared to that.

I do not delete typically, I do not set rules and I do not archive.

My main concept is "laizyness".

My only decision I make is:

Does that mail needs an answer?

Then I press the keyboard shortcut for reply.

Now there two options:
I reply immediately or I save the reply which creates a draft.

That's it.

When I need to look at the history of conversation I use the indexed
search function.
