Join the club. I have just finished configuring my Netscape e-mail for
incoming folders -- _important_ direct e-mails (having to to with my
actual job) were getting lost in and amongst the various lists I am a
member of. I get around 600 e-mails per day on fifteen or so different
mailing lists (the ones at PostgreSQL.org, a half dozen at
Broadcast.net, Bugtraq/Linux-alert/RedHat-announce, redhat-beta,
AOLserver/OpenNSD/OpenACS, and a handful of Linux announce lists,
unixODBC, CERT, plus all of our Internet listeners). Netscapes filters
are a lifesaver! Of course, there are other more capable packages out
there, but Netscape works the same on Win9x and Linux, both of which are
in use on my notebook.
I have to keep up, or the e-mail flood after a couple of days is just
about unbearable.
