I found many many mailing lists that were just numbers and so want to
hide those. I edited the example Mailing Lists as below, but assume
there must be a more proper way to accomplish this?
The second row in your screenshot needs to specify **Any** instead of
**All.** Your current set of conditions is satisfied only if the List-ID
> Identifier contains all of the digits 0-9.
And ideally would only exclude mailing lists starting with 0-9, not
those that happen to have a number later on.
Unfortunately, the choice of operators doesn't include "does not start
with" alongside **does not contain.** Someone who knows more than I do
might be able to tell you whether the match field at the end of each row
accepts regular expressions that could specify the beginning of the List
ID string.
Although you didn't ask, I'll also add that these automatically
generated mailboxes can be renamed like any other mailbox. My own
practice is rename unintelligible List-ID mailboxes with something
readable that lets me know their nature (e.g., "3238652052BM" becomes
"Asustor"). A leading character can force the mailbox to the beginning
or the end of the list. When all the messages with that List ID are
deleted, the list mailbox will disappear as well.
