Between my boss and I we get a couple of hundred emails a day! I sort them into folders for him, you don't want too many folders otherwise you're just creating another problem for yourself. We just have 'Action', 'Customer Issues', 'Jane to action' ie me!, 'Reading' with a sub-folder for Circulars when you can set up rules to automatically move rubbishy bits automatically. He knows he has to read the folders action and customer issues if nothing else. If I see stuff that has a deadline in it I drag a copy of it into his tasks and set a reminder date of a day or so before the actual due date, likewise if someone sends through a briefing note, say for a meeting in a week or so's time, again I drag into tasks with a title of 'Must read before xxxx' and a task date of the day before the meeting - and then put time in the diary to read the material from the task list. Sounds a bit confusing - but it works for us!
