When we looked into how people used email, we found some interesting patterns. It turns out that there are generally three types of people when it comes to email: pilers, filers, and purgers.
Which are you?
- Piler: “I generally don’t put email into a folder or archive. I don’t delete it. I just let it pile up in my inbox."
- Filer: “I generally categorize messages by moving them into folders I’ve created or assigning labels to each message.”
- Purger: “I generally delete email after I’ve read it.”
