Mailing lists

[H2Om]

I receive a lot of stuff from a mailing list. It would be very handy if I AquaMail:
a] Marks them read as they arrive OR simply no notification of any sort.
b] Puts them all in a group/folder/conversation. I don't really mind what exactly.


So I want to declutter my mailbox and don't receive notifications.

To clarify things a little more.

In "Google Inbox" it's called 'bundled'

It's quite similar to "Conversation" in AquaMail.
It shows up as one entry in my inbox, and can be expanded.
The main difference is that the AquaMail converstations are bundled automatically and what I'm looking for is bundled by a rule (email address)

Hi,

Sorry no such feature in the app.
I believe that message filtering is best done right on the mail server (service):

– Most mail services have supported it for a decade if not longer (try “settings” after logging into your account on the mail provider’s web site).

– One place to set things up, vs. in each mail app

– Consistent between all mail apps (mobile / desktop / etc.)

– No additional setup if you get a new phone

Gmail specific: if you’re going to “move” messages, please also turn on “archive (skip inbox)” for each rule (you’ll see this while creating it) — without it, Gmail will *copy* not *move* the filtered messages.

That does part of what I want.

I want to show that folder inside AquaMail's Inbox. Just the way it shows conversations.

The grouping that you describe is far from being a mainstream feature of a mail app these days - Google decided to experiment, all the best to them.

Personally I use "server side" filtering (what Nedialko suggested above) for 10+ mailing lists, sorting messages into folders in my Gmail account. I read them in Aqua or on Gmail's web site.

Works for me, YMMV, FWIW, etc.

I DO server side filtering!

I'm just not happy how AquaMail presents the filtered emails.


What works for you isn't the standard all have to live by. There is something as personal preferences?

The grouping that you describe is far from being a mainstream feature of a mail app these days

What's you point Kostya? Do you mean you going to abandon AquaMail because after all that time see it's not mainstream. Outlook and Google are mainstream

Re: I DO server side filtering!

Good.

Re: I'm just not happy how AquaMail presents the filtered emails.

If your filters move your mailing list messages into folders - then you'll see them (the messages) in Aqua Mail in those folders.

Re: What works for you isn't the standard all have to live by.

Of course not. Just shared my experience hoping it'd be useful.

Apparently it wasn't welcome.

Re: What's you point Kostya? Do you mean you going to abandon AquaMail because after all that time see it's not mainstream. Outlook and Google are mainstream

My point, @H2Om, was just what I wrote.

Even from Google's point of view, this is "experimental" - they made a whole separate app for that.

Going back to what you wrote originally:

a] Marks them read as they arrive OR simply no notification of any sort.
b] Puts them all in a group/folder/conversation. I don't really mind what exactly.

Yes you can totally do this with sever side filters.

But then you complicated things with this:

I want to show that folder inside AquaMail's Inbox. Just the way it shows conversations.

So now you don't want a folder anymore.

You want a special kind of grouping for those messages.

That's the part which I called "non-mainstream" and no this app does not do that.
