Have you tried auto foldering?

If there are certain people, or system messages, that you never read or that are always a low priority, you can set them to get automatically sent to a sub-folder. That way they don't clutter up your inbox.

To have Outlook 2013 file a particular sender's messages automatically:
- Open an email from the sender whose messages you want to filter.
- Go to the Home tab in the ribbon.
- Select Rules > Always Move Messages From: Sender.
- Highlight the desired target folder.
- Select OK.

Or another option if you don't do it is to use the "Categorize" colors to get organized. For me, I will typically get a bunch of emails on a single topic but spread out over time. So I just mark them all as red, or orange, etc. and it is easier to digest them together rather than mixed up with everything else.
