[swift-evolution] Mailman?

[Thorsten Seitz]

David, I already use flags to mark threads I care about, but the problem is marking threads I do NOT care about. Using different colors makes marking fiddly and furthermore iPad has only one color. Deleting does not help because I do not recognize new mails as belonging to threads that do not interest me especially because the subject is typically cut off in the overview lists. And even if I could mark them they still fill my inbox...

I’ve not used it at scale either, so it’s unclear that the emails get delivered as timely. I know with some services I’ve used in the past, this was a huge issue.
