It doesn't really have to be that cumbersome to handle a couple of
hundred messages per day. I typically get 250 to 400 messages a day
and can get through most of them in 15 minutes.  When I've come back
from a couple of days of vacation and found 1300 stack up it stretches
out to maybe 30 minutes.

One technique is to sweep them out in "wide swaths".  I have the
mail program the mail messages by subject rather than by time or
sender.  I start at the bottom of the list and work forward.  If
there are, say, 5 message with the same title, I just hold the <shift>
key while using the <up-arrow> key and then a single hit on the
<delete> key and they are all gone.  Works even better with 10 or 15
message alike!

I agree with Jim's original comment.  I want "technical" info here;
I'll go to the contesting reflector for scores.
