Chapter 10, Email Management. I think this chapter could've helped me manage my email a lot at my last job.

I already have some plans to improve my email management. I've been using notmuch, but it's not really working out the way I'd hoped, and also I need to start having some email on my phone again too.

I think what is suggested in this chapter is good, though. And I did do some of it already. Sending mailing list emails to separate folders, for example.

I'm big on filtering. I have a sieve script running on my email host that sorts a bunch of different types of email into different folders. I need to work on it a little more, some junk that I get from the last time I bought shoes and such, where the unsubscribe button just doesn't work.

I stopped checking my email on my phone because most of the time it was stuff that I didn't need to look at at all. But if I add a few more filtering rules I should be able to have only important emails ping me on my phone.

I will have to remain vigilant, though. I've had several rounds already of unsubscribing from things I don't want, but I'll have to maintain my sieve script diligently.
