I prefer to separate that functionality from the mail client. I am using mutt. I had procmail set up to drop messages in different maildir boxes. Then I switched to mailfilter. And because it is such a pain when a new mailing list is added (or whatever), I switched to filtering using mutt's limit command, with all messages in one folder. But processing my 8000 messages is slow...

It takes 30 seconds to pull up ~/.mailfilter in vim, duplicate an if-block and modify it. -- Dissent is patriotic, remember? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Or make generic rules: if (/^List-Id:.*<debian-(.*)\.lists.debian.org>/) { to Maildir/.debian.$MATCH1/ } You only have to create the Maildir in advance, and even that can be automated (I think I saw the code right here on the list).

If that is what you are looking for in an email client, gmail won't help you. -- "Unibus timeout fatal trap program lost sorry" -- An error message printed by DEC's RSTS operating system for the PDP-11 Eduardo M KALINOWSKI eduardo(a)kalinowski.com.br -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
