If a simple filter (or 100 filters) are sufficient then shouldn't you ask yourself why are you receiving these emails?
Why not unsubscribe from the mailing list; or have your team document their status in a project tracker instead of CCing half the company on emails?
Not that I don't appreciate your approach. I have my mail client provide no mail notifications unless the email is from my Important list of contacts. So my inbox builds up until I am ready to spend time on it.
- skore 14y agoSometimes you don't have control over a subscription (semi-spam), other times it makes sense to at least have them archived "just in case". The bottom line is: I have decided that whenever I run into a "this is wasting my time" situation, there is a single action (that takes seconds to complete) to solve it. Also - Trying to compete with professional people trying to get my attention is a losing game - I just filter and they never find out they won part of the arms race.
