I do my filtering on this list
with thunderbird. It does 100% on what
was mentioned later in the thread. The place I'm actually having
trouble is with the filtering on google. I have a to:from:cc:bcc filter
on both list names and it misses about 3 or 4 message a day, and leaves
them "unarchived". I take the list both places in order to have both a
single archive (I sort messages in the cctalk by relevance / reference
value / plonk with thunderbird manually).
I use a feed into a virtual machine running procmail / fetchmail /
dovecot / imap / pop3 to take off the feeds from all of my emails into
one system. All are archived that way for whatever I need.
ONly problem I have is I don't run any spam filtering so have to be
careful of what addresses I use, because I whitelist everything with
filters.
Off topic, but thought I'd speak up, Thunderbird was neglected then
improved and now is probably headed for neglect because noone pays to
advertise thru it. I prefer using it because the files are all
essentially flat searchable ascii and easy to search with any tool I
wish, besides the searcher by thunderbird.
