Over the years I have striven to become more organized. It seemed like tax season would come around and I would spend hours digging through thousands of emails trying to find receipts for purchases I made online.
I have alleviated a lot of that hassle by organizing my emails with filters and labels. My favorite labels are my labels that are labeled "receipts".

that way I catch all the emails that person is sending me so I can easily go back and see every email they have sent me.

Whenever I make a business purchase online I will open up the email that has the purchase details in it and then put the appropriate receipt label on it. I like to label my receipts by tax year, I find this to be the most useful for me personally.

Am curious. After three days of going through over 3700 messages because of illness and inability to access, have divided important and other. Am finally caught up with viewing less than 50 in each category with archive and folders daily.
Need a little more information on what to filter at the expense of sounding dumb or dumber. ^_~

It's really up to you. I have a folder/label set up for receipts. Every time I get a receipt in my inbox I put it in that folder. makes it easy when it comes to tax time. I tend to just label the emails by the person I get it from that way I can click on the label and pull up their emails.
