Hi all,
the one feature that I am missing with almost all email clients is a
"sort sent mails into folder XYZ" functionality. I admit, it is an
in-between of email client and CRM system, but it is extremely
helpful, if combined with both a targeted search in specific folders
and a global search over all email folders.
My proposal for this was:
- have a preference per IMAP folder when replying to mails in that
folder
Default = move to Sent
Option_1 = move to the IMAP folder where the original email sits
Option_2 = move to trash after sending
For friend+family folders, I would use option_1, since I want to keep
my own emails as well as theirs.
For all mailinglist folders, I would use option_2, since I would
receive my own email from the listserver seconds later anyway.
But, that doesn't handle the case of non-replies (when you start
writing a new email to someone).
In the office I am forced to use MS Outlook, and we found the
SpeedFiler extension, which is a smart solution for this. SpeedFiler
prompts you with smart suggestions for possible folders where the
email might belong to after hitting the sent-button. You can easily
override the suggestions by typing in some letters from the
appropriate folder name. Also you can file the initial mail with the
sent mail, if the sent mail is a reply and both belong into the same
folder.
Please estimate - how much of your sent mails are new mails and how
much are replies?
