It sounds like you haven't tried an email client where filtering is ergonomic. I use mu / mu4e for filtering and reading emails. At my inbox, I press `s`, enter a search term, and instantly get matches. I can press `S` (capital s) to further refine the search with another term if the previous was too broad. Filtering is incredibly powerful and useful if it is presented in an accessible way in the client.
- Spivak 4y agoThe fact that we all need such advanced filtering to make email usable at all should be the canary in the coal mine that we’ve lost our way.
