The easy thing to do is to use the standard RFC822 (and superceding RFC's)
List-Id: header to do your processing. With the e-mail volume I pull, having
everything coming into a single folder is impossible (I got over 16,000
non-spam e-mails last month from this one account (I have six)); I organize
by folders, and kmail allows some really slick presentation of those folders,
and does the automatic List-Id based filing.
agreed - something you may not have heard is that there's a move afoot
to drop Kmail from KDE4
I don't know if that's a permanent drop, or a get the release out the
door without it drop, but, I share your sentiments on its power, and am
going to look into it further
to Les: I'm not following this discussion intently, though I agree with
the sentiment of not adding to the subject line, but one thing you said
caught my eye, the bit about "Doesn't that mean you have to jump around
in the folders whenever a new message comes in or you want to reply to
something? I don't have time for that." The answer is yes, but, it's
not really so hard. I see you're using Thunderbird on Windows, which I
am in process of configuring at this moment on a new laptop. When new
messages come in, I merely press the 'n' key to get to them, or, I've
added the 'Next unread message' and 'Previous unread message' buttons to
the toolbar so I can mouseclick to them; additionally, I've changed the
behavior where it continually asks you if you want to go to an unread
message in the next folder by doing the following from Thunderbird
tricks and tips:
"Change the Advance to Next Unread Message behavior
When you click on the Next button (or when you select Go > Next >
Message or simply when you press N) you normally advance to the next
unread message in the current folder. If there are no unread
messages left in a folder, Thunderbird will ask if you want to
advance to the next folder containing unread messages. You can
change this behavior by using the Config Editor <edit#configeditor>
to change the value of the preference mailnews.nav_crosses_folders.
The values are:
0
Always go to the next folder without prompting
1
Ask before going (the default behaviour)
2
Never go to the next folder with unread messages"
Hoping this got converted to text only from html, and hope this is
helpful - if not, just disregard - I don't need a big correction for not
following your complaint in total detail, it's just some suggestions
