Hello Lemmy, I would like to know how do you all read email.
- What email clients (or web UI) do you use? And on what platform?
- What is something you don’t like from the client?
- What is something you like from the client?
- What is something you don’t like from the email service?
- What is something you like from the email service?.
- Is there a feature you would like your client implemented?
- Do you have any particular method or workflow of going through and extensive inbox?
If you have any other comment it would be appreciated as well.
On my computer I use the web interface and on my phone I use Thunderbird. One thing I do is to delete or archive any message that does not need any action, and it has been a blessing, my emails are so much easier to go through.
That’s all, thank you in advance.
I use https://port87.com/
It’s great, because all my email is sorted into labels by address, and everyone I’ve given my email to has been given a different address. So basically, I’ll go into each label I care about, set it to show only unread and in reverse order, then click each one.
It really works well for me, because mode switching is hard on me. When all my emails are placed in one inbox all mixed up, I get overwhelmed really quickly. So, having to only switch mental modes once I’m completely done with one sender’s emails is something I can manage a lot better.
It also has labels that require a challenge, so when you give a real person your email, they can email you, but robots can’t.
Full disclosure, I invented the delivery system for Port87, and I run the service.
