Yep. There’s no ‘Archive’ button in Mac Mail, so I just drag and drop to the All Mail folder in Gmail for everything, including BCU.

Ah, OK. And do you just have one (gmail hosted) Archive folder shared between all the accounts?

Very good! I’m glad you have German covered, I couldn’t have volunteered if I wanted to, so little time, so many things to do. I’ve read those portions available already yesterday and this morning, great train(s) of thought, it will surely have an impact on the way I work in the future. I might get around to write down some thoughts this weekend.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to have a kind of forum for those who read the book to come together and share thoughts and best (and worst) practices, to share experiences? I’d love to hear from others.

I have four email accounts.

I’m dubber@gmail.com, dubber@bandcamp.com, dubber@newmusicstrategies.com and andrew.dubber@bcu.ac.uk. The first three integrate seamlessly with a single Gmail account and I can send to and receive from any of them via that account.

The BCU one is out on its own, because none of the workarounds are satisfactory. However, they sit together nicely side by side in Mac Mail. Like this.

I’m curious how you handle multiple email accounts. Your post implies you use gmail, but I’m assuming you have at least one additional account (BCU staff). How does that fit with your scheme? Do you forward all emails to your gmail and just work from there?

I had no idea that 1Password had a keyboard shortcut. Thank you.

ah – i was reading it as you were marking everything as spam that you were trashing because you didn’t need it anymore, rather than marking it as spam because you didn’t want to see any more of that kind of thing from the sender in the future – i see what you meant now.
