  1. I am surprised you did not mention using your evernote email (premium can have an easy @m.evernote email address) for any subscription emails or for accounts, that are then automatically sent to your evernote default notebook. In the evenings or weekends I clear these to either my “read” notebook or read them then and there and then delete them, it allows me to keep my work & private (seperate apps) emails at zero at the end of every day.
