Y! Mailers sound off with resolutions

Hello blog readers! Last week I asked you to share your New Year’s Resolution with the blog, and the response was great. We selected some people to receive some shirts, and have already notified the lucky winners (so if you didn’t hear yet you’ll have to stay tuned for next time!).Without further ado, here are some of the resolutions submitted by my readers :

I have a new year’s resolution for me, and I have one for you, too, Ryan K. I do office work and a lot of filing, so my resolution is to never get a paper cut again! Or a cut from manila folders or the metal prongs on those manila folders. I have just had it with them!

My resolution for you, Ryan K, is to change the picture next to your name at the end of your blogs. It’s been great to associate a face with a name, but do you have any other expressions?

Comment by Glenda

Glenda’s right. We should all strive to eliminate unpleasant paper cuts from 2008 … so let’s all use less paper and rely even more on email! And about the picture, I’ll try a new one this time and dig through my pics to find one without my smirk.

There should be a way to “merge” 2 addresses together so that we can get rid of the other one.

Comment by Krishna

Well we do have something that can help with that. It’s still in beta, but it’s part of address.yahoo.com and is called Clean Up Duplicates. You can learn more about it here.

my new years resolution is to be less critical of myself and of the people around me.

As long as you are keeping that up, please come back and comment often.

Resolved to do LESS clean-up! That is,, to stop deleting mail that I later find I wish I still had. File it away, yes, but keep it!

Unlimited storage has that effect on people … but organization is critical!

Comment by Wissam

We are working on it, so stay tuned!

i am going to email more! real letters, not forwards. i think i have been neglecting people.

Comment by leah

I like the sound of that one. We should all follow leah’s lead.

My New year’s Mail resolution is to categorize my contacts in better group. I have Vietnamese, English, and French friends and most of them don’t know the other languages except their mother language. So far when I forward inspirational emails, I got complained from my friend that they couldn’t understand it.

Another resolution is that I must figure out how to make better folders. So far I made 100+ folders, each folders represent one friend of mine, and yes, I emailed all of them frequently.

We may not all be tri-lingual, but this is good advice for everyone … remember your audience and keep that in mind when you are emailing.

Mine is to add folders to Yahoo! Mail, and to get Yahoo (Mail) Plus! In addition to getting my life in order; work, money, etc, etc…

Comment by Navi

What’s that? You are looking to upgrade to Mail Plus? That’s the best resolution yet!

Thanks again to everyone who commented or emailed. Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did.
