I know I sent that email now where is it?....

How often have you said that to yourself?

Finding emails is often a nightmare. If you could turn back the clock to the time you sent and received your very first email how many emails would their be in your in and out boxes combined?

Thousands? Millions? Who knows?

How many of those mails are simple, almost meaningless "ok", "Sure" or perhaps "1PM" and nothing more?

Do you realise the value of those simple, short words and numbers?

Each one represents a confirmation of something. What if we opened it up a little? Let's say the email prior to "ok" was "the price of the fish and chips is $500 can I deliver them?" and lets assume the mail you sent to get the answer "sure" was "have to paid me the $25,000 for the project into the correct bank account?" and let's say your answer '1Pm" was related to "what time does your flight arrive from Aberdeen?". Those short phrases now have an element of value to them and there are possibly quite a large number of these in your history, the vast majority of which you have erased or simply even ignored.

let's say you run a small business of let's say 50 staff of which 35 of them have access to email. How important now are those short phrases? All of a sudden the value is much more infact 35 times more.

So when it comes to to the delivery of the fish and chips, the payment of the money and the landing of the flight and something is amiss what happens if you can't find the email? The email is your only proof in an endless "he said she said" battle trying to prove who said what, where and when. Battle that is easily lost by the wrong the person.
