Too much mail? Use the Advanced Preferences #howto #subscription

 

Hi everyone,

For groups like GroupManagersForum where I am not a moderator or owner, don't need everything right NOW, and where not everything is of interest to me, I use the Subscription Advanced Preferences.

My settings are:

Following Only Only the messages in threads or hashtags you have chosen to follow are emailed to you, according to your Email Delivery Selection.
?
First Message Also In addition to the threads and hashtags you have selected to follow, the first message of every new thread is also emailed to you.
?
Replies
Auto Follow Replies You automatically follow any threads you start or reply to.

When I get the first message in a thread in my email, if I think I need to know or it looks interesting, I click on Follow This Topic. It takes me to the web page and I must confirm.
I could also mute a hashtag if I wanted, using the email footers.

To manage the followed threads, you could do some housekeeping periodically.
Go to Your Groups, Manage My Subscriptions on Groups.io to see, delete topics or hashtags you are following.

I think this works for lots of people. I think it needs more publicity!
To set it up, go to Subscription (left menu), scroll down to Advanced Preferences, click on the arrow on the end of the line to open the rest of the page.
