If you’ve ever battled an unruly email box, this is the set of Saturday Six questions for you!
- First to play last week: Otowi of Otowi. Congratulations!
(According to the rules, “First to Play” requires you to be the first to include the link to the specific entry in which you answered the questions, not just the general link to your blog.)
Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!
1. Of your various email accounts, think of the one with the most cluttered inbox: how many “unread”  emails are in it?
2. How often do you make an effort to clean out your inbox?
3. Considering most of your accounts, which is generally the most full: your inbox, your junk folder or your sent box?
4. Who was the last person to send you an email, and what was the last company or institution to send you an email?
5. Take the quiz: Which Email Function Are You?
6. You receive a forwarded email from a friend that you know to be factually inaccurate. You confirm this at a fact-checking site like snopes.com. Do you send your friend a note pointing out the errors, or just delete it without mention?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), send me an email! I’d love to be able to include it in a future edition of the Saturday Six.
1. Of your various email accounts, think of the one with the most cluttered inbox: how many “unread†emails are in it?
Tens.
2. How often do you make an effort to clean out your inbox?
A few times a year?
3. Considering most of your accounts, which is generally the most full: your inbox, your junk folder or your sent box?
Junk folder.
4. Who was the last person to send you an email, and what was the last company or institution to send you an email?
My father-in-law, I think. The last company was probably my webhost.
5. Take the quiz: Which Email Function Are You?
I’m Archive!
6. You receive a forwarded email from a friend that you know to be factually inaccurate. You confirm this at a fact-checking site like snopes.com. Do you send your friend a note pointing out the errors, or just delete it without mention?
I do tend to email them back and let them know they’ve got it wrong. Not in a mean way, of course.
