You can use your email inbox as a to-do list by only keeping mails there where you still have an action to be taken or where it reminds you of someone else’s open action.
This only works if you quickly delete or transfer mails without open actions into other folders. Every person has a limit on how many mails you can manage in your inbox at a time. In case the number of mails in your inbox exceeds this number you probably have to invest some overtime to get back on track. Otherwise the danger of forgetting things and receiving reminders is very high.
