Re: [LegacyUG] Suggestion for Too Many Emails
Wendy, Outlook on a laptop uses filters quite nicely and redirects as you suggest into sub folders (although with today's more powerful search mechanism, subfolders or directories filters and rules are becoming archaic.) However Outlook on an iPhone doesn't redirect using filters as easily, so separate email addresses work better. And of course, using an iPhone, you don't have to remember to look at the other account because all accounts are shown in Mail.

Re: [LegacyUG] Suggestion for Too Many Emails
> I've just joined Legacy UG and already being swamped. > I have a G-mail account - how do I change from my normal > email and get UG mail to go to the G-mail? Did you keep the "welcome" email that was sent to you when you first joined this mailing list? There is a link in that to your account settings, and you can change your email address there. That email also tells you your password, if you've not changed it since. If you didn't keep that email, you can go to http://legacyusers.com/mailman/options/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com and log in there. There's a password reminder, and an unsubscribe button, there too. You could manage your emails better, so you don't feel swamped by the list mail, instead of changing your subscribed address. Most services/programs have filters (or rules) that let you identify list mail (ie, mail sent TO the list address), and then move that mail away from the Inbox. I wrote some instructions for another mailing list years ago, which can be adapted to any mailing list - you'll find them at http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/How-to.htm#RuleFilter The advantage of using a filter like this, instead of changing email addresses, is that you don't have to remember to go check that other address. It is all there in the one account, with the list mail away from your personal mail so you can ignore it and get on with other things until you're ready to concentrate on it. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Judith Slaughter wrote on 12/09/2017 13:20: I've just joined Legacy UG and already being swamped.

[LegacyUG] Suggestion for Too Many Emails
Create an email using gmail or yahoo that is only dedicated for Legacy User Group. Don't look at it until you need to. Then either ask a question, or search through the previous emails to find your answer. I use this approach with my "advertisement email". It's dedicated to ads. I never look at it until I'm going to a store or shopping for something in particular. Then I search and see if there are any coupons availble.
