After years of working from various premises, I recently found a simple way to keep an updated archive of correspondence and related information; it’s simply Google’s Gmail. All I do is BCC important messages to my Gmail account.

Apart for the 1 Gb available, Gmail’s advantage is its use of “Labels” rather than folders to organise messages. Unlike folders, Labels can overlap, i.e. the same message can exist in multiple folders. In addition, labels can be automatically applied to incoming messages, according to specific rules.
