Catching up on work E-mail.
Ugh... Don't remind me. I was AFK for 3 weeks... Came back to 600 something emails. /cry
Only 600? Geesh, that's like half a day. If it weren't for filtering, my life would be extra sucky.
That was with filtering on, lol. I set up my O365 Filters and turn them on when I'm going to be AFK a few days. It filtered a lot of what it should, but some of it that should have been filtered wasn't, so... shrugs
I always have filtering on. They work well for me, and save my sanity. I'd say that if you only have filters turned on while your away, you need to remake those filters. Makes life so much easier, all the time.

I have them on for the things I don't care about. Sadly, a lot of the stuff that makes it past my filters has to be dealt with by somebody. (These are the ones I turn on & on when I'm AFK... If I'm not here, no need for me to see them.

Filtered E-mails (mostly alerts which are either informational or for whoever is on-call (not me for the next 6 weeks) are about 600.

I wonder if I could get some statistics on how many emails were filtered between two dates.

Ctrl+A, right click, mark as read.
If would, but there's a small chance of something in there that I actually need to read.
Decent chance of missing that either way.

Same here, I filter nearly everything.

@DustinB3403 is correct. Office 365.

Gotta love when you get a support request email whose subject line is "Microsoft not working"...

The hilarious part is that the issue was that she managed to turn on paragraph formatting marks in Word. But in all fairness, our receptionist is by far the least technically skilled person in the whole company.

As they should be expected to be, answer the phone and forward calls, not a lot more should be expected of the role.

Yeah, but the knowledge/skill gap between her and a staff of devs and support people is REALLY wide.

Tell your devs to stop messing with her then.

Many are above average. It's common to use a receptionist as the liaison to IT in a small company because they tend to be on a computer all day, while many other people are not.
