I have tried a few tools for to-do lists, but settled on 3 folders in my inbox: ACTION, READ & WANT.
I created some rules: subject beginning TODO goes to ACTION, subject beginning READ goes to READ, subject beginning WANT goes to WANT folder. This means I can add to any list just by sending a mail to myself.
I created additional rules so all emails from credit card companies, banks, accountant and other important senders goes straight into ACTION folder.
I try and ensure all unread items are dealt with daily. If I set it to read, it becomes non-urgent.
