  I make good use of outlook's "unread mail" (all mail read? Hit F5 and the folder is magically empty) and "for follow-up" special folders, but other than that my inbox is full of everything

  My inbox is zero unless I have to action on something.

  I try hard to keep my inbox minimal; otherwise it's too easy to forget to respond to people, and then you're cleaning things out 3 months later and you realize you're a jackass. I hate that feeling. So I try to keep it very low, and I use GMail's Priority Inbox so that I can put Stars on messages that need attention/replies.

  I usually try to maintain it. I have a folder for archived mail, and one called follow up for mail that I need to respond to, but requires more than 5 minutes of effort. Anything in the inbox that doesn't get moved to the follow up folder, I'll respond to immediately and archive.

  At work I get far too much email every day to have a chance at that.
  
  At home I don't get enough interesting email from people I care about to move it all elsewhere.

  I have category zero at work, it's awesome. I use Outlooks color categories, with about 4 categories, "not important" = delete, "I need to do something", "Delegated", "Done" and one "Need to be able to find again" for information and links and stuff.

  Yep, I read stuff on my personal and work accounts when it comes in and then archive it to the relevant folder. Messy inboxes drive me nuts.

  I never delete email, storage is so cheap now. Is inbox zero some sort of movement? It sounds catchy...
