Being overwhelmed with mailing lists in GMail


I am currently somewhat overwhelmed by mailing lists, even in the mighty GMail. I'm currently looking around for ways to manage the flow of incoming messages. I definately have not taken the time to learn much about labels or staring of messages, aside from the relatively basic tagging of messages with an attachment with a star.

This Gmail Tips Complete guide may be of use, but I will have to do more research before I pronounce it good. Does have some nice screenshots.

short list of what you need to do:

create appropriate labels for each list.

create filters to automatically label list traffic, and move archive those messages (skipping the inbox).

those two things should pretty much set you straight - they're kind of the whole point of gmail...

Sounds good. I rarely need to read mailing list traffic "live"

I prefer to search for it though later, which will be possible if they are in the archive folders.
