[OT] Overwhelmed by emails

Daniel DeLorme

11/30/2006 1:44:00 AM

This list has way too many messages for the amount of free time I have. Does
someone, by any chance, know of email software with filtering (bayesian,
user-based, etc) to help you ferret out the interesting stuff? Kind of like
reverse spam: find the most interesting out of a mass of legit messages.

Hrm... ruby-talk has web mirrors at
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/i... and
http://www.ruby-forum.c.... Perhaps you could work up a system
using http://www.trynt.com/trynt-google-pag... or something, but
a few random guesses on my part had it showing up 0 for everything...

If you use Mozilla, simply sort the subjects, then look at the ones you
want. Then use ^A to select all of the emails then delete them. This
can be done quite quickly.

I recommend the two-second rule -- look at the message for 2 seconds,
then take action on it or delete it.

sylpheed or sylpeed-claws
(http://www.google.com/search?q=sylpheed&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-U...)
provides (key-word or regex) filters with associated actions, so you can
use it to, for example, put all messages with ruby.*java|java.*ruby in
the subject line in your ruby-java folder, and so on. Works well for me
for my mailing list emails. (And each folder is implemented as a
directory in the filesystem, so it's also easy to grep/etc. emails from
the command line.)

Some people prefer to use mailing lists natively, instead of through
(occasionally broken) forum gateways.

I've been working on it for IMAPCleanse, but I haven't made it
accurate yet. You may be interested in imap_flag, though. It lets
you track response to email addresses you like to read.

I can't read the website when I'm not attached to the internet.

A website will gobble up even more of my precious time because I have
to wait for messages to load. No fun.
