Mail Volume

I was wondering if there was a way in either the Discussions settings or Mail settings to categorize mail I'm receiving specifically from Discussions. I'm curious as to what questions are being answered and asked, but I would like to differentiate the emails I'm receiving from questions being asked in the Communities and discussion threads.!

You are "Following" (subscribed to) 5 forums - getting notices of ALL activity in them.

Email notifications for that many forums is not how I would manage my participation on a Mac*


I am "interested" in at least as many (more) and have made browser bookmarks for each - I prefer the more professional "view" afforded by adding "/content + parameters" to the end of the "simple" URLs for forums

I get all of my URLs to bookmark from Site map of Communities and Categories <(read this. there are other good tips contained therein)

See the difference?

Set up filters for what's in the titles to sort them into custom mail-inbox folders

All subject lines begin with the "forum name" in brackets followed by the thread title
