AG: This is awesome. What app do you like for doing non-browser gmail? I'm jonesing for the 'one click file this into this specific folder' functionality and the app I just downloaded doesn't seem to have it. :(
I use the native Mac mail app. I'm sure there are others too. But anyway on the basic mac mail program, for the iPhone and the Desktop versions, you can into Settings -> Mailbox Behaviors to program Archive and Delete buttons to do what you want. You might need to create different Z Archive folders for each computer (Gmail can be buggy with this) but once it's operating, it works.
You've convinced me this is a system I should try. It will alleviate the constant pressure of putting my emails in categories and knowing I'll never do it. A way to escape this pergatory. I make sure when putting someone's contact info in my phone to note where and when I met them and why we clicked. Then I label them to a folder so I'm only looking at a few dozen contacts. For example I have a FilmStack folder. The meditation I'll need to not think about.
Try it all Tom, if you are up for it. Everyone works differently but I do think a lot of people burn their brains on bad systems, and this system works (for me anyway)
Thanks for your generous and sage advice. Some of which I shall apply to my rather dillapidated brush.

Thank you!
Wow! Sweep the cobblestones.
Brilliant! Grazie!
Ari, this is gold and I truly am not intending to pun. Saving it, implementing it, and thank you for it!!
now you need to catalog your puns
