My CentOS box is my mail server. It uses procmail as the delivery agent, so it honors the .procmailrc filter in every user's home directory. I use that to pre-deliver list mail to list-specific folders in my ~/mail hierarchy (~/Maildir if you use Maildir format) and then read the result with the Mulberry mail client and Dovecot as the IMAP server. It should be straightforward to add additional filter rules to .procmailrc to either remove mail from selected senders or add flags that your email client would understand to hide or highlight. (I set the "important" flag to highlight messages from project administrators and messages that contain my address in the references headers (ie. replies to me). ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Well, I don't know how do you define a real statistical observation, but I described the above scenario from my experience from a couple of mailing lists. What I can say is that it happens often enough to be statistically significant (for me, at least). Otherwise I wouldn't even notice gmail's lack of threading. :-) >> I typically don't have time to read >> through all messages in a well-sized thread.

You probably check your e-mail much more often than I do. I do it typically once per day, and in one day quite a big number of e-mails gets accumulated on CentOS and Fedora lists (other lists I'm subscribed to have nowhere near as much traffic). Estimating from memory, in 24 hours I receive approximately 15-25 e-mails on CentOS list, and around 40-50 on Fedora list (of course, these numbers may vary widely). That gives me on average around 30ish new posts to look at every day, while I may be interested in just 3-4 relevant ones. If those posts were not sorted properly into threads and subthreads, I would have to look at all of them, which is very time consuming and mostly a waste of my time. When I'm not actively involved in a thread, I make a rule never to spend more than 10 minutes per day for reading e-mail. ;-) So, no, I typically don't look at individual messages, and rarely ever receive them one by one. What mostly happens is that every thread accumulates 5-10 posts per day, and I want to read only those that I know are interesting for me (those that continue the line of conversation I was interested in yesterday, and new threads with an interesting title). In gmail's interface I just cannot distinguish those two types from the rest, within a single thread. Also, on a side note, I filter each mailing list traffic to an appropriate folder, so that posts from CentOS and Fedora lists never actually reach my inbox, but rather get into their own folders. I like to keep the inbox for personal communication, since that typically deserves more of my attention. So when someone sends an e-mail to *me*, it comes into inbox. When someone sends an e-mail to the CentOS list, it comes to the CentOS folder, and is put in its proper place in the branch of the thread. When I want to read CentOS mails, I just switch to that folder, and see all the relevant and irrelevant threads and branches at a glance, without even looking at the text of any individual message. Then I read just the ones tagged as interesting, and mark the others as irrelevant (if they are not marked already). Back in the day I used to read everything, and it took me one hour every day. After some time I learned to be more efficient in e-mail reading. :-) But I believe we are getting too tangential to what the OP wanted to know... ;-) Best, :-) Marko ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It is at least good at flagging responses to my own messages, something that thunderbird doesn't seem to understand.

One typical scenario is when I am interested in following one branch of a thread (i.e. a subthread), while I wish to ignore the rest. In KMail's threaded view this is trivial --- subthreads are just various branches in the thread tree, and I can always mark this branch as interesting, that as uninteresting, etc., and keep following only the interesting part of the thread. I typically don't have time to read through all messages in a well-sized thread. In gmail this is literally impossible, and I need to go through *all* messages in the conversation, since the interesting branches and unimportant branches are mixed together. It is just annoying when I have to scroll through the entire conversation, scanning every message for relevance. The SNR can become high within a thread, and it is a pain when all messages are displayed indiscriminantly. I am using the gmail interface right now (unfortunately, I'm away from my laptop since last week), and it is already getting on my nerves in several threads on Fedora and CentOS lists. Your usecase is probably different from mine. If you always have time to read through the whole thread, I agree that subthreading isn't important. But nevertheless, it's a pity that gmail's web interface doesn't support this, since there are people (like me) who would find proper threading very useful. In general I don't complain since KMail resolves this problem for me, but gmail devs would really gain some points in my eyes if they would implement real threading. ;-) Best, :-) Marko ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Every message stands on its own and normally carries any needed quoted context. I just read unread messages and respond or not. The only place the history matters is if you want to see if the answer you are about to give (or need yourself) has already been posted. But if you are caught up on the unread messages in the conversation (which all show at once) you'll already know that, and in any case the branches in the history don't matter in this regard. > I use a gmail account on a regular basis, but try to avoid their web > interface whenever I can. KMail is so much better (for me at least)... I used to only log in when I wanted to search messages that I had deleted locally, but It has gotten a lot better, with many more options that you can activate in the settings. The one that matters the most to me is to auto-advance to the next unread conversation as you archive/delete the current one instead of re-displaying the inbox. It is still slightly clunky in how you have to do multi-selects and move things compared to native applications, but not bad overall and meshes conceptually with the way the gmail phone app works so it is easy to stay current when reading on the phone but put off replying until you have a better keyboard. And of course the web interface means you don't have to configure a bunch of stuff to get imap readers synchronized across all of your computers (which I did anyway with thunderbird - I just don't use it as often now). -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What I miss a lot in gmail's web interface is proper threading. That "conversation" organization of e-mails is essentially the same thing, only done worse. There is no way to distinguish sub-threads of a given thread. Everything within one "conversation" is being displayed linearly, instead of a natural tree-ordering.

I used to use fetchmail to pull it to an imap server that I managed and accessed from various clients and my phone via imap, but for an assortment of reasons I want to retire that server and recently have been accessing gmail directly through imap, the gmail phone app, and the web interface, and after configuring the options a bit the web interface seems to be winning. It now has a fuzzy concept of 'important' mail that it can display first, and its folder operations are conceptually more like tagging where 'inbox' is just another tag, although from imap they appear as typical folders.The normal thing to do with disposed mail is to 'archive' it which puts it out of sight, but it still appears in searches and threaded conversation view - and being google, they obviously have better search capability than you are going to find in your own mail client. For me, the conceptual differences are more than making up for what you lose in a web-based interface - and when you want you can always use a real client via imap as long as you don't subscribe to the massive 'all mail' folder that holds the archive. I don't do any pre-filtering or sorting since you can just archive everything and still be able to find it in a search, but the facility is there if you want it and the results appear the same via multiple imap clients, the phone app, or the web interface. And yes, I know it is all just a ploy to get you to stay logged in all the time in the browser so your google search queries are tied to your login as well as your IP, but they are really, really good at it... -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The Scalix integration quit working upon an upgrade to KDE4 (don't really miss it that much), and if you do a large and long search, be sure to do a short one before you quit kmail, as it will redo the search to populate the 'Searches' folder *every time you start* and not tell you that is what it is doing; it just feels like it has hung, for however long the search may take (and my mail store is, uh, 8.3GB currently) ...

Most email clients are capable of filtering incoming mail by subject, sender, and other fields. I note that you are using MS Outlook and I have absolutely no experience with that program, but any email client I've used in the past several years has allowed filtering in some manner. My personal favourite email client is Sylpheed (which is available for both Linux and Windows -- you can find a pre-compiled Sylpheed rpm for Centos 5 and Centos 6 on my website if you're interested) and it can easily be used to filter and sort email by just about any field that you choose to use. With Sylpheed, you can set it up to filter "Sender=Whoever" to "Trash" or "Delete from Server" if you want. Just look under the Configuration - Filter Settings menu; it's pretty self-explanatory. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
