Few questions

[Divan Santana]

Hi All,

Hope you all keeping well!

A few more Qs from me...

1) If I open a specific email in an thread(perhaps via search). Now I'd
like to press a keybinding to bring forward the entire email thread so I
can go back and forth in the email thread. Sure many of you have this
working.

2) I, like many others, have many of my bulk emails going to a
"bulkinbox" folder.

How does one then easily filter/sort to only show emails in that folder
pertaining to a certain list?

So how do you all easily go through all your various mailing lists if
they all go into one bulk email directory?

Sorting by list would help, though I think that can't be done in mu4e.

Sure there is some other way.

Think that's all my Qs for now :)

Have a great day further

For now I do mu4e-headers-search-narrow then search for something like

List: mu-discuss.googlegroups.com

You create as many bookmarks (saved searches) as you like, even if all
your mail is in 1 folder.

All this is in the manual.

Thanks! I've played with bookmarks briefly when reading through the
manual.

Though kinda forgot about it. I'll set this up, should help a lot.

Cool. I have read through it briefly and quickly. But clearly missed a
few things and a few things not yet sinked in. lol.

Thanks again.

No problem, it can be too much at first and there is a mindset change
required to really aprehend all you can do with mu4e. :)
