This is an old revision of the document!


Are you trying to separate your MMS email from all the rest? Do what the pros do and create an automatically organizing folder. First, create a folder and then create a filter that places all messages matching the “List-ID” header into your new folder by following the instructions for your email service below (you might need to use a desktop computer to set them up.) Here are the List-ID headers for the MMS mailing lists:

Members list:
List-ID: <membersonly-milwaukeemakerspace.googlegroups.com>

Public list:
List-ID: <milwaukeemakerspace.googlegroups.com>

Are you tired of a conversation thread or need a break from someone's flurry of messages? Almost every email reader has a filter that you can use to automatically hide, place in a special folder or “mark read” messages that match a certain subject or sender. If you don't want to see a particular discussion, create a filter to mark read/delete all messages that match the subject of the discussion. If you need a break from a particular individual, create a filter that matches the “X-Original-Sender:” header for the sender's email address. You can also use the “From” header, but sometimes Google Groups mangles this header.
