So I got a new job, and that means I have a new email address that forwards to my regular mail spool. *Normally*, all that junk should end up in a separate folder so I am tagging it all as "+work" (there are quite a few corner cases which I handle individually, but from here on we can assume there's a single tag to identify all that mail). How do I stay sane during the weekends? There's a *lot* of junk coming in that's polluting my "notmuch-hello" view. Here's a "screenshot": Welcome to notmuch. You have 188 359 messages. Saved searches: [edit] 67 inbox 259 sent 3 drafts 2 todo Search: . All tags: [hide] 1 attachment 27 logwatch 3 work-project 72 commit 13 nagios 9 work-admin 17 cron 124 rapports 3 trac 16 lists 147 work 151 unread Hit `?' for context-sensitive help in any Notmuch screen. Customize Notmuch or this page. How can I make that "All tags" junk disappear? Or, more specifically, how do I make it ignore that crowded "work" tag? Bonus points for flipping back and forth outside of business hours and weekends. :) I know I can make a billion saved searches to cover for all those cases. But so far I've used a technique where I tag messages instead of doing saved searches and it serves me well.
