Let's look at that last one, the sticky thing. This usually means to have a email highlighted in a way that it gets the attention of the user. Now, think about it. There is nothing that we can do to address this ourselves. If you say we can, you are an idiot. That is something that must be configured in whatever email client the user is using.
Now let's look at the email client config thing... Well, we could try to fix headers of incoming email, but that's not really a solution. In fact, there is no real solution that we can provide ourselves, and besides, a properly configued email client (to produce proper headers and such) is just proper netiuqitte. There is, again, nothing we can do legally about this (well, we can find a way to break into the users system and configure his email client for him, but were not here to hold hands or commit crimes)
Well, it's pretty obvious you didn't read my comments, think about them, read the problems i commented against, and thought about those, and finally thought all of it together. You are just out to troll, and your reply is just flamebait. Your time would probably best be spent on USENET, as there are plenty of trolls there.
And before anyone says I am trolling, you're almost right, except that I explained why the problems i mention as unfixable by us are just that. Can we configure the users email client for him? No. Therefore we can't fix those problems.
Segin... chill! lol Flamebait aside, The fact of the matter is that while these things are beyond our control, some people just don't use email enough to configure a client, or be bothered with setting up a webmail account.. As for the mailbox filling up I think the complaint is not the mailbox running out of space, its that they dont want to have to delete several hundred (literally) messages when they come back from a weekend, or several thousand when they come back from holiday, and dont tell me to put them on vacation mode in the ml settings as that isnt convenient. People want 1 or 2 clicks or as close to it as possible, or they wont use it. Unfortunately the mailing lists just dont give them that.
