Inbox Optimization Procedures

Please see the links at the bottom of this page for step-by-step instructions

1. Clean out your Inbox and keep it clean
   • The more messages you have in your Inbox the slower your email client will respond. 
   • Do not keep large messages in your Inbox, any message over 1MB should be moved out of the Inbox as soon as possible.
   • Typical Inboxes should have less than 20 messages in them at any given time

2. Keep your send/receive frequency to a minimum
   • Make sure you have your automatic send/receive set to 10 minutes or MORE.
   • Do not click the button to send/receive messages frequently or repeatedly.

3. Do not keep messages on the server
   • If you have your email client set to save your messages on the server after you have downloaded them to your computer, make sure they are deleted after a certain period of time.

4. Have your email open in only one place at a time
   • If you have your email client open and want to open Connections mail, close your email client first
   • Do not leave your email client running in your office/room/home if you expect to be checking your email at another location
