I agree with Tim.

I filter all my SQLite messages to its own folder and read as needed.

I prefer this method to a forum as I can then keep the messages with me. I’m often off the internet and its good to have them for reading. Also I can look back through them and get hints and tips about issues.

Its not perfect but it works for me. I get around the distraction of emails coming in through client filtering, I did start filtering at the server so that only important stuff came through immediately but that didn’t work well. I now use Mailmate and like the power and lack of graphical eye candy it offers.

I’d actively vote against a SQLite forum rather than e-mail (if anybody asked me, which I doubt…) SQLite is important to our work so having it around is fine by me,

YMMV

That's not an argument for web forums, rather that's an argument for not using your work email to subscribe to non-work discussion lists; use a non-work email for the discussion lists instead. You can also configure your email client to only check email when you tell it to rather than constantly. -- Darren Duncan

Filter the sqlite mails into their own mailbox. They can then be read at a convenient moment.

I certainly don't want a whole lot of sub-forums and the like, each of which has to be checked in case there's something interesting there.
