Can we have some filter by which we can have all the mails show up in the box as they are...but members can have an option, whr if they subcribe to mails related to only one particular area of interest, only those get forwarded to them???
Like for example...based on different team breakups I had suggested, and their various ids we can create, if one members chooses to get mails only relevant to Educational Area, mails related to only EDP - Educational Development Projects - EDP @ TMAD , only these get forwarded to him. On the other hand, members who are okay with how it presently works, and all prefer having their mail flow as it is, can still have the same working for them??? One step further down the line, projects can be tracked by their relevant names/heads aswell.... like...sort of sub heads.... EDP - Anikepalli Project @ TMAD MDP - Divena Case @ TMAD MDP - LN Case @ TMAD Just some ideas...from my little brain..as always.. -Divya _ --- In [email protected], Lalitha G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How about mail filters? > > I think this option is available with all e-mail > services?
