How do you organise your mailbox with labels and folders? - Lemmy Today

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.

I have a folder for each additional email identity that I created and a filter to sort incoming emails into these folders and then a few labels like “Invoices”, “Vet” or “Medical” that get applied automatically.

I leave everything that needs action in the Inbox. All other mail I move to Archive.

For the rest I use Search.

I really need to archive my emails more often to prevent my inbox from becoming a cluttered mess. Do you use labels?
No. The content of the e-mail is most of times enough to be found in search.
