Tips for Using Mail Topics Effectively

Here are some tips on how to use mail topics effectively and avoid common pitfalls:

- Choose meaningful names for your mail topics that reflect their content and purpose. Avoid using generic names like "Miscellaneous" or "Important" that can be confusing or misleading.

- Use mail topics sparingly and only for messages that share a common theme or category. Don't create too many mail topics or subscribe to too many mail topics that are irrelevant or redundant. This can clutter your inbox and make it harder to find what you need.

- Use filters or rules to automatically assign messages to mail topics based on certain criteria, such as sender, subject, keywords, etc. This can save you time and effort and ensure that your messages are organized correctly.

- Review your mail topics regularly and delete or unsubscribe from any that are no longer useful or relevant. This can help you keep your inbox clean and up-to-date.
