That's funny to hear, because the very same reason - "more efficient handling of the huge volume" - is why I choose to use only individual mails from all lists I subscribe to ;-) Hear are some tricks I use: - Use filtering of incoming mails into list boxes - When you are in a mail box, click the column for how you want to sort the mails. I tend to jump between listing in chronological order and listing based on subject line So if for example a certain thread doesn't interest you, simply order after subject line, select all of them and hit the delete button. I know the Gmail online service works in a similar way, inside a web browser, but I'm able to do it double as fast on a local mail client where I get more control over how to set up shortcuts on the computer keys. I also set up temporary mail boxes for certain projects I'm working on and then I set up the filtering to drop incoming mails from important key persons into those boxes. After the gig, course or whatever the project might be, has has been due I take that box out of the local email client and archive it. Some times I drag a message into a project box because something in the discussion has a point that somehow relates to that particular project. Or I may copy it, if I also want to keep it in its original list box. On a local mail client with individual messages all these actions are just a matter grabbing something with the mouse and dropping it somewhere else.
