Read Emails in a Unified Inbox with Mozilla Thunderbird

It was the second of its kind. So, the mobile phone network launched in West Germany on Friday, January 14, 1972, was called "B-Netz" ("B-Net"). It replaced "A-Netz" (the first of that kind).
One quirk in particular might have suggested "Beta" for 'B', though, to its users — and people trying to call them: to reach a B-Netz customer, one had to use their number and the area code — of wherever the mobile phone was at the time.
You did not know? All left to do was trying one area code after the other.
In Mozilla Thunderbird (not "Beta"), you need not try one inbox after the other to see all new mail; you can get it all collected in one convenient folder:
›› Don't want to go looking up the latest messages in separate folders, one for each email account? You can set up Mozilla Thunderbird to collect messages from all you accounts' inboxes, sent, spam and more folders in unified views (while the individual folders are still around, of course).


How to Mark a Message as Junk in Outlook.com

"Cold or hot, Spam hits the spot."
Does this Hormel advertising claim from the 1930s (and 40s) ring true, too, in front of your computer and email program with (lowercase) spam hitting your sour spot no matter the temperature outside or in-? Outlook.com has a spot and button for you to hit (and a keyboard shortcut to boot):

No "Caps Lock" is found above "Caps" next to the "A" key on the Space Cadet keyboard. Yes, "Caps" is labeled "Shift", but that's not it alone.
On the 1970s', perhaps, most extravagant keyboard, that left "Caps Lock" space is occupied by the "RUB OUT" key, which worked much like "Backspace" does still.
Now, want to hit the "RUB OUT" key, metaphorically, on the Facebook folder on your IncrediMail screen?
›› If you have no need for the "Facebook" folder in IncrediMail, you can remove it.


From the Archives: Create and Use Email Templates in Outlook
A reasonable bribe is all it takes for me to read your mail. I'm drowned in email after all, and time is money — money of a fancied currency that translates scarce email time into scarce tokens. You can trade these tokens with coworkers and attach them to emails to underscore their importance. Everybody's email efficiency improves, the story goes.
Tokens or not, you can invest in a meaningful Subject line to underscore your email's importance and have it read; tokens or not, you can invest in Outlook message templates to increase your email writing efficiency:
