Great baseline ideas for mailbox setup

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

I'm in the Air Force and have about 20 officers/NCOs pushing their various agendas my way throughout the day. The setup definitely helped to sort, prioritize, and ultimately minimize the redundant and superfluous noise that was rolling into my inbox. I had to play with the settings but overall I've found the strategy to be very useful.
