I currently use Remember the Milk, but I still use this system.

First I set the inbox to only show 5 emails (out of over 200). That way I was not overwhelmed and actually wanted to take care of those 5 emails because it wasn't too much. - This was a method learned fromThe FlyLady.
Then I used the Evernote web clipper to save all the important information that was hanging around in my email but didn't need to be in emails. I clipped it, filed it and have it searchable on all my devices (phone, computer, tablet).
Things that needed taken care of I made a to-do item for in Any.do with the Any.do extension in Gmail, right at the bottom of the email.
And emails that I needed to look at later I used Boomerang to resend them to me when needed or if someone doesn't respond within a set time it sends me back the email. Beautiful harmony of the 3 technology along with the motivation from Flylady and I cleared it all up! Years and years worth in that inbox! Wow.
