There were some great comments on this article, specifically around the great debate:

B) just keep everything there, and search it when you need it
Of course, I know enough to know that one can not "blanket-prescribe" a system; that is, what works for your boss may not, ultimately, work for you. What I do know, however, is that magic happens when small to medium sized teams get in a room for 30 minutes, once every few months, and ask this question:
"How, as a team, can we get the most from email?"
Then, follow it up with,
"How, as a team, can we make it easy for everyone to focus?" (That is, how do we minimize and mitigate distractions/disruptions/interruptions?)
Any ideas?
