Google should allow for the sharing of email filters.
Just a thought.. for all you gmail employees reading hacker news =). A lot of problems can be solved for my friends if I could somehow share my e-mail filters with them =).
- forkrulassail 16y agoYes, that would indeed be awesome. I have about 17 emails coming into my gmail account. And have extensive filtering, prioritization going.
- koeselitz 16y agoBut Gmail already does allow sharing of email filters. It's something they added recently, I think - it's still in the Google Labs tab. It's called "Filter Import/Export." (Edit: that's the cool thing about Gmail, really - if you can think of a feature, they probably already thought of it, too.) Edit #2: looks like it exports filters in XML, which is nice. Here's a pretty good overview of the feature: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/03/export-gmail-filters.html http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/03/export-gmail-filter...
