Here we are, a very funny piece on how to manage email. Personally speaking, I operate on 2 principles.
1. the 5 D's principle: Do, Dont, Delay, Delegate, Delete.
2. When i get back to the office after some days and emails have piled up, I pick up the whole unread lot, scan for any emails from my boss or boss's boss, and move everything to the "TBR" To Be Read folder. If there is anything urgent, people will get back, if not, there are wonderful bits of technology which archive stuff without you checking. And if everything else fails, blame Lotus Notes (surefire excuse!)
