I just use GMail. I scroll through my emails and look at the subject. If it has something in it I don't want to read, I check the box at the left. After I go through all of them that way (not even opening them yet), I click the "mark as read" button. All the marked emails get moved out of my inbox to the "read" portion. They aren't gone, I can go back and read any of them if I want to, but I don't have to read them NOW. I go to the bottom of my remaining unread emails, open the last one, and read it. Then I hit the arrow at the top right, and move to the next email. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Not all that hard. If there is something that pops up frequently, I create a filter for it, and just mark it as read. On rare occasions, I make a folder and send the offenders to Coventry. Other than that, I read pretty much everything else. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73, Gwen, NG3P On Mon, Oct 5, 2020 at 3:06 PM Fred Jensen <k6...@foothill.net> wrote: > T-bird works super ... mine sorts my mail into various folders and even > sub folders.
