Live Email Deleting Party
April 23 2:00-3:00pm
Make progress on your spring cleaning and join the RMS ROT Squad for this popular and practical live event. ROT stands for redundant, obsolete, and transitory records, and email is often saturated with ROT.
Take this chance to finally clear that ROT out of your inbox live with expert guidance. We will describe the specific types of emails that you can delete, give you step-by-step instructions and demonstrate the best way to search for each type of email. Attendees get time allocated in real time during the event to delete their own email ROT. Afraid you have so many messages that your computer might freeze? Can’t make it on 4/23 at 2-3pm? Follow along with the recorded Email Deleting Party on the RMS website.
Learn some new tricks and rid yourself of ROT. You’ll love that fresh and tidy inbox!
