I stayed very busy today, and yet managed to not actually do the one thing I really should have, which is the grant. I am intimidated by the grant. There’s no reason to be, particularly since Dad’s done most of the heavy lifting on it. But it intimidates me anyway, and so I did ALL KINDS of other work in order to avoid the grant. I cleaned the

I'm not sure I see your distinction in regards to gmail. Splain. :)

[mizkit]

The only place there is to store email is in the inbox. You can filter it by whatever means you desire within the inbox, sure, but I can't move, say, all my Chance material into its own folder so it's not actually cluttering up the inbox itself.

Or at least if I can, I don't know how.

[rfrancis]

Well, if you label it with Chance or whatever, then archive it, it's no longer in the inbox, right? It's still in All mail, but, well, hence the name. :)

You can even automate that (where appropriate, like I do it with a mailing list or two) by having the automatic filter both label it and "skip the inbox."

Or am I still not getting it?

[mizkit]

...no, I've just never understood how the archive box works so I've never used it. I gather, because you've made me try it, that there's no actual "archives" to go look in, but instead I pull up the label I'm using and voila, it filters only those files I've so labeled. Which, ok, is basically what I want it to do. I just didn't understand.

Except what happens if you skip the inbox? Do you get any kind of notification that there are new messages piling up in your archives somewhere?

I was going to say that's what archiving is for, but Random beat me to it!

It's a randomgang conspiracy!

[mizkit]

It is! But now I understand!

I've also been playing a bit of CoH, because unlike the other MMOs I've played, I actually enjoy playing this one. What a concept! :-) The two big new features, IMO, are that they actually filter out those dead contacts into a separate tab now, and that you can trade in 3 inspirations of a kind you don't want for something useful. (As a regen scrapper, that means turning Endurance into something else, usually Health. Yay!)

Naturally grey hair is sexy, too.

[mizkit]

Oooooooh. The filter for the contacts is gooooood. Yay!

I personally have great hopes for going all white so I can dye the larger part of my hair brown again and leave the Rogue stripe in place without having to bleach one in. :) It probably won't happen, as my dad's half of the family doesn't seem to do much more grey than I've got, and my mom's half seems to be well-greyed by the time they reach my age, so I'm probably tending towards Dad's half, but I have hope. :)

THREE TIMES I DENY YOU! :)

You're young, Babe, young.

Thanks!
