Btw, thanks to everyone that chimed in. This will make life much
better. It's the last piece of the puzzle for me to move to a more
efficient workflow using nmh + MH-E + some homegrown stuff.
Basically, I have a mailfilter front end that calls `inc' and filters
mail into different inboxes based on rules. I just finished adding
"move conversation" support into this filter, so new messages go to
the appropriate inbox (inbox-foo if that's where I moved the
conversation).
I've also have a hack on top of MH-E so that I can mark messages as
"important", by putting them into the `important' sequence, and in
Emacs I highlight them in yellow. It's crucial that the
important sequence be preserved across refiles, as you can imagine.
My main entry point into reading email is no longer my +inbox, but an
Emacs buffer that shows something like this:
+inbox 1 new 171 old
+inbox-gmail 34 unread 35 old
+inbox-spam 223 unread 227 old
+inbox-junk 144 unread 144 old
; *********** TODO inboxes ********************
+inbox-q 35 old
+inbox-fin 41 old
+inbox-todo 37 old
+inbox-sa 47 old
+inbox-pbx 11 old
+inbox-adrian 2 old
+inbox-someday 77 old
+inbox-pend 1 old
; *********** Hobby inboxes********************
+inbox-music 26 old
+inbox-photo 26 old
+inbox-fun 21 old
+inbox-travel 1 old
; *********** Mailing list inboxes ************
+inbox-emacs 292 unread 301 old
+inbox-git 176 unread 176 old
+inbox-blink 10 unread 10 old
+inbox-cygwin 102 unread 129 old
+inbox-mh 2 old
+inbox-nmh 3 old
+inbox-ps 1 unread 1 old
When I sat in +inbox all day, I would ignore things I needed to do.
Now, I see those things better.
Anyway, thanks again.
Kevin
