Conference participation, posters that can be found online... an academic email address seems to spread like wildfire in general. Filtering it out sounds like the only reasonable option. | |

Of course you will need new rules from time to time, but probably you're meaning like at most 1 message per day and not like 100 and a lot of work to sort the inbox. So setting up rules until (almost) nothing gets into the inbox anymore is often possible. | |

They're a tiny fraction of all the email I receive. | |
