Thunderbird

I liked this show because

- I also listen to MintCast
- I also use Thunderbird
- It gave me some tips and thoughts for how I can use Thunderbird even better than I currently do.

Regarding my inbox, when an e-mail thread is handled and if I want to keep it, my current strategy is similar to other documents: I move them to a local Thunderbird map away from the e-mail cloud.

Mintcast and Thunderbird

Hey mate, its Majid from Mintcast here. I enjoyed your episode on High crimes and misdemeanours about Mintcast and Thunderbird. I was a regular user of thunderbird until my organisation moved to exchange web servers. When i used it i loved it, maybe time to revisit it and follow your guides. Many thanks!

Thunderbird and email management

Hi SGOTI,

I enjoyed the show, and hearing about the way you manage email.

I have been using Thunderbird since the 2000's when the university I worked for installed central IMAP servers. I kept using it when we started using MS Exchange. I think from the earliest time Thunderbird had a mechanism for deleting messages based on their age or the number in a folder.

I filter all my email arriving from several mail services into a number of inboxes into a hierarchy of folders. For each folder with transient messages I right click on it, and select the 'Retention Policy' tab. There I either set a date-related deletion policy or a count-based one. I always enable "Always keep starred messages".

This seems to be a good way to handle message deletion - for my needs anyway. Some of my filters add stars to messages (as well as sometimes tagging them) before saving them in folders with deletion rules, because I really want to keep them for a long time, while I don't care about others in that folder.

Maybe I should do a show about my 30+ years of email experiences at some point!

Dave
