Every so often, we tend to get behind and sometimes we get so far behind that we really need to start over.and#160; It's really hard to stay on top of the deluge of emails we get on a daily basis and when you get a couple days behind, it can seem like it's impossible to get caught up. You can easily end up with hundreds of messages in the Inbox that you haven't been able to read.and#160; When you find yourself submerged with a pile of emails, your only way out may be to declare "email bankruptcy". This means you will be deleting every message in your inbox. It's like a financial bankruptcy; you're writing off the losses and starting over.and#160; The best way to declare email bankruptcy is to send a message to all the people you care about letting them know that you've filed email bankruptcy and if they're waiting on a response from you, they need to resend those messages. When you do this as a group message, be sure that you type all the addresses in the Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) section so you keep all those email addresses private.
