Don’t organize them it’s a big fat waste of time. Understand how to use outlooks search function and utilize conversation view in certain search folders.

Edit: love the hate this gets, it’s incredibly effective if done right. If you are filing each individual email, you are a moron and you don’t know how to use outlook. It should be viewed the same way as using the mouse rather than excel shortcuts—yeah it works, but you are an idiot.
