Yeah. And with a few (well, 119) filters, it's actually pretty rare that an e-mail hits my inbox. Rare enough to have notifications on my phone enabled.
- gibrown 12y agoThe fact that you had to configure and maintain 119 filters is the indication that email is broken IMO.
- spindritf 12y agoI accumulated them over the years.
- Mithaldu 12y agoWith the right software (Opera Mail) filters learn from what you drag into them and out of them. So there's no maintenance necessary to speak of.

Maybe it's not broken, maybe it's just being used by people in a way it wasn't meant to be. I bet a lot of people's email 'conversations' would work better in a chat app (i.e. they don't need an easily searchable record and they aren't typing long messages).
- r00fus 12y agoI have 63 filters right now for my personal mail, somewhat less (17) for my work email where I am a bit more diligent about sorting (and where filters can be more complex). 119 is completely sane.
- gibrown 12y agoOf course its sane. I also have over a hundred. But if your system requires that I manually build and maintain hundreds of filters I still think something is broken. Its just an awful user experience.
