How do you use your labels, folders and filters to organise your ProtonMail inbox/archive?
I decided to get Proton Unlimited yesterday and I’ve been trying to organise my emails, but I feel like I have the tendency to accidentally use folders and labels for the same thing so I end up with similarly named labels and folders (oops!), so I’m curious to see how people here organise their mailbox.
I was thinking one folder per alias/account/website, but when I try to add filters I’m reaching that filter limit where I have to wait 24 hours. I tried the sieve filters but, although I’m a decent programmer, it doesn’t feel super intuitive.
This is actually one of the things I found out after setting up a bunch of folders so I’m thinking about removing the folders altogether and stick to using labels, as others have suggested as well.
Initially it didn’t make sense to me to not use folders but I didn’t realise that once the emails are archived they’re no longer stored in that folder anyway.
So if I understand it correctly the folders are only really useful for sorting incoming unread emails. And I indeed found myself checking every single folder for emails which was more work than if I had not used those folders in the first place.
