One of the reasons you'll pry Evolution from my cold dead hands is Right Click -> Create Filter -> @domain.co.uk and done.
I have filters for almost everything, my boss goes into one folder and gets set one color, automated notifications from my internal system another (green if everything is OK, orange if there is something I really need to look at).
What I really* want is a desktop client that exposes a nice clean Python (or similar) API so I can automate even further - I mean Python has everything I want if I want to do that from the CLI/cron but having it built in would be really nice.
- Scoundreller 7y agoWhat happens when one of those blocked domains becomes a vendor for your org?
- noir_lord 7y agoNearly all of them are tech companies trying to sell me stuff because I once bought something from them, tried their service or briefly thought about it. As I’m the head techie (by dint of been the only techie) , I’d be the one purchasing from them in the first place. I find a filter that sends everything to Marketing/Hardware and marks as read fairer than flagging them as spam. If you filter out all the people telling me they’ll be out the office, birthday announcements etc, all the vendors trying to sell me stuff and all the automated stuff (which I do automatically), I get less than 5 emails a day (I put my boss on Trello, it’s just better for what we need) which I check once at 11 and at 10 to 5. I’m ruthless about my time since I’m the only programmer.
