I use a single inbox as well. I have set up an email alias for the email address EN created for me. This is more easy to remember and helps sending it off quickly. I looked at your quick actions and figured that some kind of task automation could speed things up even more. I had a look at my Outlook 365 for Mac but couldn't find it.. perhaps because I'm still in legacy mode. Do you have a tip which email client you have set up this fast forward rule?
I'm using Emclient but used to use Postbox which let you edit the subject line before forwarding which was better. Unfortunately they shut down and we're bought out.
I think you can do something similar in the old Outlook desktop app but not the newer one.
In your most recent post, you wrote, "I have an .Inbox, which is my default notebook that sits at the top of my notebook list. Note: Default notebooks can't be in a space." I would like my In Box notebook to be at the top of my notebook list as well, but I can't find a command in Evernote that allows me to do this. Is there a specific command to position "In Box" at the top, or do I need to rename my In Box notebook to start with a symbol like '*'? Is that what you did by naming your notebook ".Inbox"?
I have started using Spaces and found it very helpful for some things.
But, I am trying to understand how using a Space for collection might be better than just having an .Inbox notebook where everything goes and then is processed. Perhaps the ease of being able to have your other notebooks all in there, making a drag and drop easier? For my work, I tend to organize with tags for many things ...
It may not be easier. Right now I think the visual side of things is kind of working where I can see all my main destination notebooks in one place. I'll probably adapt this as I carry on with it.
I still dump everything into my default notebook, !Inbox.
I send a lot of emails to EN, usually as bcc, so I don't direct them to notebooks in the subject line.
As I typically work in the notes view mode with a list of notes, not cards, I can see the notebook for each note.
At the end of the day, I review what is in the !Inbox and move it to where it belongs.
One thing about spaces that I do not like, is the pinned notes does not show enough of the title. That field need to be lengthened.
I'm still not quite clear on any benefit for using spaces in my, workflow or lack thereof.
This has been mentioned a few times. It would be nice to at least hover over them to see the full title. I have no idea what some of my pins are!
Agreed, even the hover would be a big improvement.

Exactly that. The symbol lets it sit at the top. I'm hoping in the future we'll be able to drag and drop to reorder things.
Thank you very much for your response. Renner
