Summary

  • For National Email Week, which takes place during the second week of June and commemorates the “backbone of digital communication”, MakeUseOf is calling for users to review their email usage.
  • It suggests that whilst email is an essential part of daily life, it can become a source of stress and needs to be well managed to prevent it from “managing you”.
  • To address this, MakeUseOf is suggesting that users can use National Email Week as an opportunity to improve email setup, tighten security, and rethink usage habits, in order to get to “inbox zero” or at least make peace with the number of emails in the inbox.
  • It also reminds users that email is “the skeleton key to your digital life” and, as such, losing control of an email account can result in problems with numerous linked services.
