Three of today's forty emails need you; here they are
Point a shared alias at the agent's address, or connect your own mailbox, and get one daily list: what needs a decision, what needs a reply this week, and what has now been waiting nine days.
A shared inbox is everyone's job, which makes it nobody's. The message that needed a decision on Monday is on page two by Thursday, and the person who finally answers it is whoever feels guilty first.
Så fungerar det

Give the agent its own address instead: a forwarding rule in Outlook or Gmail sends mail to it, CC it on threads, or point the shared alias straight at it. Or skip the forwarding entirely: connect your own mailbox, Google Workspace authorizes natively with granular read-only permissions, and Microsoft 365 or other providers connect when IMAP access is enabled on the account, and the agent sweeps the inbox itself on a schedule. Every message gets sorted into buckets you define together, needs a decision from you, needs a reply this week, informational, ignore, and a desk table keeps one row per open item with sender, subject, bucket, and age. The daily summary is deliberately short: the three things that need you today, what got filed, and the one item that has now been waiting nine days.

Memory does the part a rota never manages. Senders you always answer first float up; the newsletter nobody has opened since January stops appearing at all. What this replaces is not a tool, it is the half-hire you were about to make to keep the inbox from rotting.
