What does archiving do? I think I accidentally archived things instead of deleting them, but I don't see them anywhere so maybe I'm wrong.
I think the star would take care of my most urgent problem. I tend to glance at emails even when I don't really have time to deal with them unless the sky is falling. Then I lose them in the inbox. If I disciplined myself to put a star on them, and then disciplined myself to look for stars regularly, I wouldn't lose them.
Overall, though, I think that the way it is organized doesn't mesh very well with my brain. My brain tends to shy away from that much data. Folders and subfolders tend to break it down into chunks I can digest at a glance.
I confuse people at work though. Apparently some people find my folders and subfolders and sub sub folders as confusing as I find a mass of information. :)
