>Care to share the rules, if you have a fixed set that work reliably and
well for you?
I have a mailbox for "Mailing Lists" with several subfolders. I also
have a couple at the top of my inbox for my "frequent flyers."
For example, one rule is "Apply this rule after the message arrives with
techwr-l in the sender's address; move it to the a-Techwr-l folder and
stop processing more rules."
The a- at the beginning of the folder name ensures that it stays visible
at the top of the mailboxes. Moving it immediately to this folder and
stopping the processing of other rules keeps the message indicator (did
you know that the Microsoft Office Team calls it "toast"?) from popping
up. So, periodically I go to the folder and see if there is anything
interesting going on in the list. If there is a thread that I am sick
and tired of (usually, any good information comes within an hour of the
original post) then I sort by subject and permanently discard
(shift+delete) those messages.
