can you not make client-side rules or is that not a thing in outlook i mean server-side is way better but you have to do what you can if you can’t get them to bump that server limit

client-side mail rules are for chumps. write a sieve script that automatically creates a new folder per mailing list, upload to mail server, never look at email rules again.

This little trick no longer works as all rules, both client and server, are stored on the Exchange server and subject to the size limit.

The Management posted:Apple has had 64 bit computers for like seventeen years. since before the intel transition. Somebody should have told little independent game developers “Valve Software”, all Source engine stuff except CS: GO is 32 bit only. For that matter, game devs were still releasing 32 bit Mac binaries in new products 3 years ago.

rjmccall posted:lol mail rules are a stupid hack for email being poo poo. its like categorizing and arranging physical media. its a total waste of time trying to deal with archaic technology and the best way to handle it is throw it away. rules dont even work because focused inbox gets rid of almost everything and then of whats left there are senders where sometimes i care about what the send and sometimes i dont based on subject or preview. email is stupid and using total unread count as a workflow trigger is the most boomer thing

email folders are a stupid idea and a relic from a worse time. why can't an email belong to multiple folders (i.e. labels)? i got sick of managing folders i deleted my rules and replaced them with search folders. it's a lovely hack but it works.

dumping all dist list emails to some shitcan folder by default is basic email hygiene. then you filter in emails selectively. like a default deny in a firewall. cmon now

I had a really great email rule at the last job that i'd keep adding through whenever anything got through. it was something like if subject contains sick | ooo | out of office | snow | rain | traffic | dr | doctor | late | under the weather | flu | cold delete it, but it'd went on and on. i don’t care if you're not coming in don’t tell me shut up

Gentle Autist posted:do you think maybe its important to actually read emails sometimes. like, not having read them may cause consequences like 'losing your job', so its worth knowing how many emails you haven't looked at yet It doesn't mark all your emails as read when you open the app. "Unread" is still a concept that exists. It just uses "new since you last looked" instead of "unread" to drive the notification badge. Since you are advocating for a tile that shows both I'm going to assume you are trolling, though.

the new widgets are basically live tiles (show some information and deeplink into the app when you touch it) so in theory someone could make a mail program that does what you nerds want. tim is even letting us set the default app for mailto: now!

The smallest widget size is still huge (vs being app icon sized) and the underlying notification system is severely limited so there's still a long way to go, but hey it only took 10 years for them to get this far with their copy.
