How to empty an inbox Comments Off

Perform these three steps to empty any e-mail inbox.

  • Step 1: Delete all the spam. (Users should set up mail filters to automatically delete some of the more frequent spam messages, but they’ll always have to delete some spam by hand.) The next section, How to Delete Spam, explains this step in detail.
  • Step 2: Read any personal mail from friends or family, then do whatever you want with it – print or save it somewhere else on the computer – after which you must delete those messages from the inbox. (Corporate users may have to skip this step if they’re not allowed to receive personal e-mail at work.) With the first two steps completed, the remaining messages in the inbox are somewhere between too irrelevant to read (spam) and too relevant to delay reading (personal mail). In preparation for Step 3, make sure that the inbox messages are sorted by date, with the oldest message on the top of the list.
  • Step 3: Open each message, from top to bottom of the inbox, engage it – that is, take some action – then delete it from the inbox. When this step is done, the inbox will be empty.

Fettuccine Alfredo Comments Off

This is the real thing. You will not find a better Fettuccine Alfredo other than at Alfredo’s in Rome, Italy. The secret to his sauce is in the parmigiano-reggiano cheese (don’t even try this recipe without it), the balance of the pepper and nutmeg. For some reason restaurants never get it right. Be warned that the sauce is heavy.
