So, If I understand correctly, the suggestion is basically to keep a:

1) "todo" label 2) "awaiting reply" label 3) "delegated" label 4) "info" label (regarding meetings, flights, etc)

in your inbox, use special stars to star the emails and then archive all emails with the corresponding label (which reflects the star).

Once a conversation is done, archive the email removing the labels and stars?

It seems confusing to me. What am I missing?
