I don’t consider myself a knowledge worker and those seem to me to be the people most like to benefit from such technologies.
DEVONTHINK PRO SMART FOLDER SERIES
You may have seen it already, but 43 Folders has a nice series on the zero inbox philosophy įor the most part I haven’t made use of Smart Folders anywhere other than in iTunes. Are you talking about folders on one or more IMAP servers? I also try to keep a zeroed Inbox but often find myself with a few messages sitting there. Clicking on Inbox will show me all new mail from all accounts. Gigantic IMAP hierarchy that you need to have open at all times? I currently have 7 mail accounts that Mail reads and I just leave Inbox collapsed.
DEVONTHINK PRO SMART FOLDER SOFTWARE
This entry was posted to Apple, Software Reviews, Technology, Usability.īoth comments and pings are currently closed. It’s a pain to navigate down the mailbox list to find them. My only major complaint is that I can’t order the smart folders above my gigantic IMAP hierarchy. I was so pleased by this that I also added a “Recently Sent” smart folder to do basically the same thing, but for messages that I’ve recently written to others. “Recently Viewed” is perfect, because it shows me stuff I’ve dredged up out of the past. At first I tried “Recently Received” but discovered that it also showed me all of the spam I’d received. Smart folders solves this problem! I added a “Recently Viewed” smart folder to Mail, which simply shows me any message I’ve looked at in the past 2 days. This is because even though I only care about the message I just received a few minutes ago, it is preparing to show me the entire history of my email life.
DEVONTHINK PRO SMART FOLDER ARCHIVE
My mail archive is huge so Mail stutters and thrashes. I want to go back and see exactly what somebody said a few messages back, so I’m forced to go to my mail archive and look it up. Unfortunately, when I delete with abandon I sometimes lose references to mail conversations in progress. So I “delete with abandon,” knowing that a copy has been archived for future reference. I’m not perfect at this, but I like to strive for an empty inbox. So I have this huge “Received Mail” archive that actually, for better or for worse, contains every single email that makes it to my inbox, including spam that SpamSieve filters.
Maybe this should be filed under “No Duh” but it’s taken me this long to figure out that Mail’s smart folders might actually save my life.įor the past year or so, I’ve adopted the “save everything” approach, ala gmail, except on my Mac.
