I have similar filters set up for Twitter, listservs, etc. -- the messages are there when *I* want them, but meanwhile they're not cluttering up my inbox. Sounds great, Deb.

The last one is key because I usually don't have to act on what is in there. If need be, I can go through there and delete them all in one fell swoop, if I have time, I read them. Thus, most of the stuff in the "In" box is either from someone new, or something I can throw away.

I do use filters -- some on my Outlook-based work account, many more on my personal Gmail account -- but they only go so far. It's one thing to handle, say, all your Twitter notifications in one batch. (I'm a big fan of batch processing.) But plenty of the e-mails I get need individual handling, because there's something in them that requires particular thought or a judicious response. So, even when I *do* use filters, at some point I get down to the work that must be done "by hand." You? Good point, Krishna.
