I'm with you, Jon... my Inbox is cleaned out pretty well 'real time' as the stuff comes in. I sometimes keep an email there to remind me of something I need to address or get back to them on, but generally it's got no more than 4 or 5 entries in it MAX. Fortunately, my company has a 200Mb limit on Inbox, so that provides me with an incentive to move reference stuff out to folders.
I make extensive use of Appt notices and future-dated Tasks to keep on top of what I need to do from day to day. Without my PPC, I'd be completely lost.
MY DEAR WIFE, otoh, is the exact opposite. She keeps EVERYTHING in her inbox, and like your friend, relies on the Search capability to find stuff. She's got, like 4 to 5 THOUSAND entries in her inbox and accumulates 100 to 200 a day -- most of it junk, and she has to spend probably 2 to 3 hours sometime each couple of weeks to clear it out a bit -- again, because of corporate policies regarding inbox size.
