When I receive "unimportant crap," I either unsubscribe to the list that sent it, or mark it as spam.

I do not leave crap lying around and then add another management dimension to my Inbox to deal with it.

There are things that are interesting - news of upcoming band tours, shipping updates, phone bills - but not of importance when I first check my emails in the morning.

Plus, it has the added benefit that emails which land in anything but the main inbox don't notify your phone, removing a distraction.

I wish I could give you more than one upvote. Perhaps even a googol of them.
