Filing Procedure Help

A part of our job that everyone dreads is filing. How do you handle email filing? My boss does a lot of work via email, and I currently have over 1300 messages that need to be printed (many with attachments) that need to be filed. I also have an alphabetical folder for other filing. He wants everything printed, put into date order, and put into the file. There is just no way to keep up with this. Does anyone have any other ideas, this is really getting out of hand.

You poor dear!! I had that same experience with my ex-boss when she wanted certain case-related emails printed out daily...if not hourly...and I just about lost my mind. I actually ended up having to tell her I would be printing them as often as possible but definitely not daily since I was hopping mad with other rushes, projects and the like....she was not happy but we didn't care for each other anyhow so it ended up making no difference to me how she felt with her pushy attitude....
