Hi,
In a wider context I try to do this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done
One of the foundations of this is what is described here.
A non-empty inbox is basically noise which takes effort on your side to
manage.
What I had to learn from this is that my inbox is not the same as my
todolist.
Best,
Kolos

Hello,
All is said in the title. Does anyone of you practice the Inbox Zero mail
strategy inside Alpine ? If so, what tips can you share or what would be
the best settings you use ?
Perhaps it would be helpful if you would explain what is the "Inbox Zero
mail strategy".
It consists simply to maintain or be as close as possible to 0 mail in the
Inbox folder.
Typically you would only check your mails once or twice a day, then each mail
in your Inbox should be processed and have 4 actions: either delegate
(transfert + CC to you), defer it until you have more time to take care of
it, delete/archive if it has no value (newsletters often fall into this), and
finally treat it (answer).
Once you DO your mails, you'd eventually keep you Inbox under control.
Is it clearer ?
Some ways to do it:
- manually check your mail (and be offline).
- keep you MUA closed when you DO not your mails
- Create 4 folders (action required, etc.) and keep this stuff under control
- etc.
I am still learning it thus my initial post.
