From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Interesting workflow.

Of course the fact that Nate uses Thunderbird instead of KMail explains a lot. One day I hope KMail/Akonadi get the attention/work they need to become viable options.

The deleting most emails is very interesting. In my personal email, I've been saved quite a few times by finding emails multiple years old. But I can definitely see how things would be quite different in a work email, and I may consider trying that myself.

Funnily enough, I cannot remember having to find emails older than a few days/weeks, so for work email, I could probably delete all emails older than 6 month or a year. OTOH, better safe than sorry. I only delete emails with big attachments and simply archive the rest.

I'll even save important emails in project folders, just in case and it is nice being able to have some emails right at hand w/o searching.

Not deleting, only archiving mail saved my ass when an employer tried to short me a few months, and I could just forward the "please start working now" mail to my lawyer.

Nice one, although I am sorry for your shitty experience with the employer. We should have a world wide open database about employers pulling this kind of shit!
