Now I control my email rather than my email controlling me.

5 / 5
This book showed me an entirely new system for organizing my email. In less than one day, I was able to read the book and completely reorganize my email setup so that I now waste way less time dealing with email. The book does a great job of showing you how to use the Outlook rules effectively.
Beyond The Nitty Gritty

I live on the Internet and e-mail is my communication tool of choice. As a computer professional I read dozens of technical books on all kinds of topics. "Overcoming Email Overload" is one of those rare books that combine technical expertise with pure fun. I have tried various schemes to handle the abundance of email that I receive daily. A few of the suggestions that Ms. Sherwood made in this book I had already incorporated into my daily routine. But I did not have an overall consistent strategy, which, thanks to this book, I now have. When I first picked up this book I expected some simple quick fixes about using folders to store various types of mail and how to set up rules. I was blown away with the depth of material in this one small book. Not only does it teach someone unfamiliar with Outlook 2000 or 2002 how to effectively use the product, it also teaches us how to reduce the amount of emails that we receive; how to write clearer, concise emails; how to convey the right emotional tone; how to get people to read and understand our message. It is a real "How To" manual for everything related to email and effective communication. One danger in buying this book is that you will come to realize how many truly bad emails you receive each day. I recommend to people, on a daily basis, to buy or borrow this book so they can improve their use of email. Really, it is so that I will no longer have to read such poor writing. If you use email, you need this book.
Changed my email life

Sherwood's book changed my email life at work. For the first time I feel like *I* am in control of my email world rather than its piteous slave. Sherwood's book is funny and immensely helpful to me both on the receiving end of email and the sending end. I have never been more grateful for a practical book. It will change your email life significantly and instantly. It's also a great new-job warming present.
