Vox Populi: How are you using Mail Tags?
Merlin Mann | Oct 18 2006
I open the floor to all of you on a question of particular personal interest to me: How are you using Mail Tags? While my uses of it to date have been helpful, I keep getting the feeling I'm not getting all that I can out of it -- especially since the ability to associate Projects, Priorities, etc. to a message could make for some really enticing Smart Folders. I wonder if my question is ultimately more taxonomic in nature -- ultimately more about Spotlight in general or Tags in very very general: When tagging items on your Mac, what kind of '-onomy' are you using? How strictly do you enforce your vocabulary? What are the best practices for someone who's new to this? Confidential to Mr. Thomas Vander Wal: if you turn up here and school me a bit on this, I’ll totally buy you a Coke. If you write a guest post on it, I’ll buy you a beefsteak and two cocktails. Seriously. Steak. 27 Comments

 here's how i'm using mailtags...Submitted by Señor Pantalones (not verified) on October 18, 2006 - 12:56pm.
here's how i'm using mailtags 2.0 beta I tag my emails with projects, then make smart mailboxes in for each project, plus a "due today" and a "due this week" folder. I add keywords to emails if they involve a non-project topic but do not specifically mention that topic in the email. then mailtags deletes all my tags and projects in preferences and makes me regret ever using it. then i get over the frustration and manually add projects back to the preferences. repeat 3x so far... » POSTED IN:
