Spark Capital's Bijan Sabet doesn't blame you for tweeting when you get to inbox-zero. "It feels good getting to that magical place." Sabet offers a few comment now on his blog, and his savvy followers chime in with their own. For starters: Watch how many e-mails you send out--they tend to invite responses. Delete e-mails you never want to see again. Tweet or blog while you're on vacation--it's more of a deterrent against would-be inbox cloggers than an "out-of-office" auto-responder. And, finally, never get into a serious debate from your inbox.
SoundCloud founder David Noel manages 6 e-mail inboxes for his company. In the comments, he recommends answering immediately then archiving or deleting, marking with a star if you need to follow-up, and only keeping e-mails in your inbox that you intend to answer that day. Turkish VC Cem Sertoglu has started using direct mails on Twitter in lieu of short e-mails. DigiSpeaker owner Jon Smirl says in Gmail, the trick is two inboxes. Set the top one to "is:unread" and the bottom to your normal inbox and filter subscription items so that they are set to archive and bypass your inbox.

Yahoo E-mail Scam
By Melissa Allen
A friend or family member (John) sends you an e-mail stating that he has been robbed at gunpoint while on vacation in another country. John has no money, no cell phone, and needs $2,500 quickly to cover the hotel bill that he cannot pay now. The e-mail looks like it came from John’s Yahoo account. You have it in your address book, and you know it’s from John. What would you do? Calling him wouldn’t help because his phone has been stolen. Respond to the e-mail?
NO. Do not respond to the e-mail. Pick up the phone and call John. If you can’t reach him, then call a close friend or spouse. Call his place of employment to verify something, anything … really on vacation and didn’t tell you ahead of time?
