Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone’s tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)

Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?

I declare email bankruptcy daily…

Send whiskey.

Edit: I was unclear.

I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)

I don’t even want to see that shit. Not at all.

    does your client of choice not have basic message box filtering? this has been a pretty basic feature of email for decades now.

    What are you using? Someone familiar with it can probably point you at the filters menu.

    Outlook has “rules” you can configure to route incoming mail into different folders and mark as read (if you have access to their web client, configure the rules there so they run even when the desktop client is closed).

    I know Google’s web interface has similar features. If it’s not built into Thunderbird then I’d be shocked if there wasn’t an extension for it.

      Interesting. I have never noticed these. Have any names?

      Good idea about the online Outlook. I forgot about that.

    I use Thunderbird. However, pretty much all email providers have an option to do this. You can sort by content and sender address.
