This is why clients like Gnus have commands like catchup where you can just mark every message in a folder as read. I read the mail that looks worth reading and then just kill the rest. But the mail is all there and searchable thanks to namazu. With threading and anything else I want (e.g. messages from @openmoko.com addresses are highlighted so I can more easily see threads that aren't just people idling about wasting time). There is no need to delete email when you use IMAP; email doesn't use that much space, and, unless you use a terrible client, nothing will slow down from having mail going back forever. -- Jessie: but today i was a nerd Jessie: i even read slashdot. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
