Right - most don't use sub folders, no matter how much I explain to them
the benefits of at least creating a 'Saved' folder and moving them from
the Inbox to there.

Our problem is, we deal with a lot of large attachments (we're in the
advertising industry), so lots of creative changing hands...

On a side note - I no longer recommend creating lots of folders - it
makes searching email more complicated than it needs to be. TB's virtual
folder support is pretty good now, so keeping all of the message sin
just a few folders makes more sense. I usually recommend storing them by
year or something like that.

I wish... ;)
