My Gmail email philosophy is simple: keep all emails in the All Mail folder for the rest of time. However, Gmail includes several organizational tools that allow you to fully control your mailbox, from custom rules to labels, filters, and its new AI smarts. One management action that has stood the test of time is Archive.This little tool is just a horizontal swipe on an email away, immediately removing it from the Inbox and stuffing it out of view. This, in a sense, is a helpful option. It pushes users towards that revered inbox zero, but it’s terribly ineffective if you look at it critically.
