Re:Ask HN: Do you use email filters/rules? by ggm on Thursday May 05, 2022 @11:42PM (#31281063)
Yes. I used .maildelivery before procmail, and procmail until my work stopped supporting it and I now use 0365 rules and Google filter rules.

I would love somebody to write up seive and how to use it with the majors.

I use Google filters for what we used to call presort Inc, so I process list mails into specific folders, and identify a small handful of chums so I can always find their mail quickly.

Lack of decent support for envelope sender/recipient distinct from To/From field is a bugbear, the box.extra@ and box+extra@ method does most of what that needed but not all.

Ah, I had never heard of sieve, I'm grateful you pointed me to it.

By this, do you mean write it up for the major social networks, like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc?

Yes. The more people who use and understand email and things like seive, the better!
