(I started a whole long response about how I have an aunt who does the same thing, that I've been there (tried asking her to stop, but that just made it worse) that turned into a full-blown rant about how deleting emails is actually not the world's most strenuous activity, as so many people seem to think it is. Seriously. clicking the mouse a few more times? people act like this is akin to asking them clean tile grout with their tongue. whoops, there I go again....) yes, what Zed said. filter. done.

Get him to sign up for a blog at wordpress.com and have him post stuff he finds there and promise you'll check it. Facebook: You can turn off all sorts of email options. Up in the top-right you'll see "Settings". Click that and then click "Notifications". I've turned off everything except for Event invitations so I absolutely won't miss those if I can get email (say on my iPod) but not Facebook (because the iPod Facebook program isn't all that great at the moment).

You can then quickly skim through for the real stuff and mass delete the rest. As for Facebook messages, I actually like that they do that. This is because I'm not really supposed to open FB at work, however, I am allowed to check my email...
