Overview<\/h2>\n

Inbox Zero<\/a>\u00a0is a\u00a0rigorous approach to keep your inbox free of e-mail – or at least nearly empty. Any mail that is read will be migrated to an Archives IMAP folder\u00a0after 5 minutes. Any mail that is starred in an e-mail client will, however, remain in the inbox until unstarred.<\/p>\n

\"Example<\/a><\/p>\n

Example of an e-mail that remains resident after starring (marking “important”) in Thunderbird.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Solution<\/h2>\n

This can be achieved with a simple\u00a0shell script that routinely runs every 5 minutes. Create a file named inboxzero.sh<\/code> or simply download the script attached under\u00a0RESOURCES<\/em>. Upload this file to your home directory, then visit\u00a0Dev<\/strong> >\u00a0 Scheduled Tasks<\/strong> to setup a recurring task to run the script (terminal access required<\/em><\/a>). Specify *\/5<\/code> for minute<\/em>, and\u00a0*<\/code> for all other time parameters. Under Command<\/em>, specify \/bin\/bash \/home\/user\/inboxzero.sh<\/code> \u2013 replace\u00a0user<\/code> with your username.<\/p>\n
