Good question, would seem there are enough to warrant the creation of quite a few email products that are supposed to help you get to this "zen" like state.

One of Mailbox App's pitch points is even along these lines: "Inbox zero. Daily.".

I've been using Mailbox for a while and the only thing it's really helping me with is the ability to either archive-or-delete, which none of the other clients can easily do.

My main problem is that with my style of thinking, I'll get an email that will make me think, "Yeah, I want to do something about that... later." But not "later" in terms of a calendar date - "later" in terms of when I am enabled to work on it, as in when a blocking dependency disappears. I can't find an easy way to make those emails disappear until they are triggered by me completing other things I care about.

The problem I have with mailbox is I feel that I don't get enough email in my gmail account to warrant even considering it.

Most people use exchange for email, I would love to see this support it.

just create a label and archive it. deal with the label when enabled

[tunesmith]

Sure, but it doesn't scale well when you're looking at reviewing fifty labels every day to decide whether you're enabled for any of them. Cognitive load. Better for them to disappear and then automatically reappear when you've completed the blocking project.

The issue is only you know when you are enabled.

>Better for them to disappear and then automatically reappear

No amount of technology will do this magic.
