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.
