    Just curious how folks utilize gmail or if they have the same struggle I do. I’ve really come to terms with the fact that I NEED IMAP support so I switched over. What I’m noticing is that because gmail doesn’t use subject lines the same way, the more email I’m accumulating I’m having a harder time locating a specific conversation or thread because of very long conversation strings.

    Do I just need to get used to using the search function for everything after you get a larger amount of email coming through? Or is there a much more straight forward method that I’m just spacing?

    lazily and from the browser. lol

    My normal system is – if its important and current star it, if its not… archive. :D Everything else gets read and deleted or just deleted…

    I have tags and filters set up to catch emails, like from twitter and each individual mailbox so I can sort though them quickly too.

    But thats about it really.

    Yeah there is an elaborate tagging/folder system as well you can use. Personally I’m cool with google-powered search.
