There are a lot of ways to do this, if you use a Linux computer to receive your email, a mail processing utility such as 'procmail' can be configured to automatically filter your incoming email into separate mailboxes. For example, I have a little over 30 directories that procmail filters incoming mail into. So I pretty much filter emails from each mailing list that I'm active on into separate directories, group some into a spam folder, etc. I access my mail via IMAP so the emails are filtered into directories but it could be into mbox files. I personally use mutt as my mail user agent (or email client) but there are many different options on Linux anyway. I find organizing the email into threads, within a subject directory, helps one to read the email is a more organized way and allows one to easily delete groups of related emails that not of interest. There is a LOT of info about the specifics of doing this and there are a lot of different options. If you are unfamiliar with this the biggest problem might be to decide on an approach to use. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
