There was an interesting article on yahoo this morning describing the 18 Common Work E-Mail mistakes (http://tiny.cc/oqoz6). Forwarding useless e-mails was one that caught my eye but I think they missed an important one, Replying to All on every email is a pet peeve of many people.

It has been my experience that most companies really don't have any clue to what is going through there email environment. Are users sending non business related attachment types or sending more mail to google than they are within the company?

One thing I have not seen a company do is establish some email etiquette and educate users. If you are using Lotus Domino and would like to know what is going on in your email environment Cooperteam has a product called Mail Flow Analyzer that will show you everything you need to know. You can use the information you gather with the tool to establish email etiquette and train your users. If you are interested in a demonstration of the tool or a 30 day trial please contact me.

FYI I will be at Lotusphere in booth 605, if you'd like to see Mail Flow Analyzer or other products offered by Cooperteam stop by and see me. See you there....
