I would be happy to be proven wrong though. Anne: I don’t think a rule can be constructed on email size. I would be happy to be proven wrong though.

I find that filtering by size along with addressbook filters is the most helpful to keep things manageable. I'm frustrated using Mail (1.3.11) on my G4 OSX 10.3.9. Does Mail 2.0 provide the ability to create rules by message size? I have more than 5 emails a day to contend with.

I've had an empty inbox almost by instinct since my first emails in Eudora under System 7.5--in Eudora, in Netscape, in Pine at college, and now in Mail, I use a combination of rules and manual filing to keep my inbox completely clean. (In fact, my current set of rules was created by some careful grep work on my .procmailrc from the Pine days, as I'm still subscribed to most of the mailing lists I was on then.) Basically, I file all my list mail into list-specific folders, I mark spam with POPFile and file that for a quick scan-and-delete, and anything else shows up in the inbox, where it remains until dealt with. This comes to about five messages a day, and is always very easy to handle. I'm sure Merlin's tips will help some people, but I don't think I need them. :-) I have never gotten why this was so hard for some people to do.
