@twm Early usage (mid-to-late 90s with several MUAs but primarily Pine): communication with friends & professors Mid usage (early 2000s to 2010s with Thunderbird as my MUA): correspondence with friends & family, mailing lists, interacting with mail-based workflows, mostly work correspondence. Usage of late (2010s to now with Claws Mail and later mutt/neomutt as my MUA): same as previously, only now more automated processes funnel data into my inbox. Those $DAYJOB case-notifications? Notifications that I was mentioned in $DAYJOB chat-rooms? System-admin checks of the system and reporting? Calendar reminders and daily agendas? RSS feeds? *Everything* gets routed to email. I could regularly refresh multiple websites and watch them all. Or install umpteen thick clients/apps with their outlandish resource-consumption and privacy-invading ToS. Or I could just let notifications come to email where I have one place to look, and powerful tools to efficiently index, search, and mow through the messages.
