Every time I read one of these articles which go into great depth about tricks, systems or processes for dealing with email I'm left feeling amazingly glad that I don't have this problem.
My work email inbox receives about ~10 emails a day. Of which maybe 2 will need a response from me.
I use (and love) gmail's new primary / social / updates / etc setup. I read everything (~5 a day) that comes into my primary inbox and reply to the few which need it. The other folders I read the ones which look interesting and let the others stay unread.
In case the author is reading this: This article was unreadable on my phone (iOS7) because the "share" buttons obscured the leftmost five or six letters on each line.
