Saving Your Inbox with the Email Charter

When I first got an e-mail address many years ago, it was a thing of beauty — I had something that would allow people to send me messages that would not take days or weeks to reach me but minutes. The near instant communication blew my mind. Over the years, however, my e-mail inbox has gone from a simple manageable thing to an unwieldy beast.
