Sadly my company decided the Gmail web interface was the only approved way to access email and blocked my email client (and all others). I probably check email once a month now to see if my invoice has been accepted, and ignore the hundreds of unread emails.
- calgoo 8mo agoMy work outlook email reads 85k unread messages. Its the issue when you have been in ops related roles for a while in a enterprise. There is so much automated crap that gets sent your way. You can filter etc, but there is always one important thing that arrives from the same email which means i cant just push it to the trash... i mean archive folders. At this point my goal is to at least reach 100k before changing jobs.
- evgpbfhnr 8mo agoOur company had the same shift, but it's not so much forbidden as just unsupported as they disabled simple password auth. If you waddle through setting up a project on the google developers console, setup your own oauth auth flow, find/scaffold something with mutt oauth script to fetch your mails locally, then you can likely get it to work too... (And then sending mails is another sidequest, and if sending mail breaks for some reason that's one in two odds you don't notice for a couple of days.. but it's fine spending work time on this right?) How they react after you're done is another problem though... I told the IT lead and his reaction was just a shrug, but some could be more vindictive.
