I get a ton of email that is for my boss, but not really junk.  Links to articles, links to news sites that have data he can find useful.  We are recieving more and more every day.   I am trying to think out of my own personal experience on how to manage, links and attachements on email that arent junk.  Attachements I can print out, links, I can't.  I am feeling blinded by my own routine so thought I would post what would you do.  There is probalby a really simple and easy method to keep all this organized and I am just not seeing it.

My boss doesn't receive many emails on articles as such, but what he does receive he likes to read in his own time.

Why not set up a separate folder called Articles or News and set up a rule so that those types of emails go directly into that folder.  You can always add to it every time something new comes in although I suspect many of these are repetitive and issued on a weekly/monthly basis.

Your boss can navigate to that folder as and when he chooses and it also means you can read the articles and and alert him about anything you feel he needs to know about.

If there is anything he no longer wants to receive, you can always unsubscribe his email address from the receipient's mailing list.
