Email: Mailbox full - you can do that

Nothing is more confusing than a full email inbox. In this article we give you a few tips on what you can do about it.

Use filters to sort

The easiest way to delete emails relatively quickly is to set up some filters.

With these filters you can put important mails in a separate folder and mark mails with certain search terms directly as spam.
Even if all programs, such as B. Thunderbird, are somewhat different to use, you should normally find this option in the settings of your application.
For example, you can automatically move all emails that contain the word "invoice" to a separate folder.
However, we recommend that you still check the incoming messages roughly. Sometimes the best filter is no protection against unwanted mail.

Your email inbox is often clogged with a lot of spam and advertising. Here it helps if you unsubscribe from less interesting newsletters.

As a rule, you will find a link at the bottom of every such email that you can use to unsubscribe.
Keep only the newsletters that you really need.

Deleting emails at regular intervals is the most effective way to empty a mailbox.

You can ideally combine the above options with this step.
The filtered emails are quickly checked and you can put the unimportant ones in the trash.
If you find invoices in your mailbox, print them out and then delete the email.
You can save important messages as a PDF before deleting them and save them on your PC or in the cloud.
Delete everything you don't need. It is particularly easy if you sort the emails by sender.
In this way, you can, for example, delete all Facebook notifications with one click.

A great program for managing multiple email accounts is Thunderbird. Our test for this application can be found in the next article.
