DOCUMENTATION METHODS/TRICKS - MAIL ORGANIZER

I thought it might be a good idea to share some tips and tricks concerning documentation. There are so many analytical minds lurking about here. There must be a ton of useful little tricks we can share with each other.

I will start with my Mail Organization method. Maybe this is something everyone already uses but, since I have no way of knowing that, I will throw it out there.

This works for Gmail.

I gave a quick try in Outlook but while it opened Outlook, it did not navigate to the specific mail in question.

I can't imagine that it would be very difficult to adapt the method.

I have always kept emails that I feel are important.

But the amount of "important" emails can quickly stack up and remembering where they are or when they were becomes challenging.

So I keep a document with links to those emails and I organize it by the sender.

It is simple to create and finding the specific email I need at any given moment is a breeze.

The method is (wait for it)....

1) Open a mail.

2) Copy the link address.

3) Open your email tracking document.

4) Create a link.
