Synchronization between multiple mailboxes
Posted: Fri Oct 11, 2024 7:27 am
Personally, between my various business and personal accounts, I always seem to spend more time managing duplicates and sorting than actually reading my mail. So I thought I'd try to centralize it all somewhere. But is it really possible to unify all your e-mails without losing your mind?
I've tried out a few merging solutions to try and bring everything together, but they either leave me with a huge pile of unstructured mail, or create even more folders than before. I've heard of more recent tools that promise to “clean up” automatically, but... is this reliable or just another gimmick that will end up confusing everything even more? What do you use to keep from falling into notification chaos? At the moment, I'm juggling with filters, but I have the impression that it's becoming a gas factory. At the end of the day, are you better off trying to merge everything, or are you just making life more complicated for nothing? Maybe the key is just to have a single tool to manage it all, like a service that merges everything neatly and basta? But I'm still digging.
