@hazardwarning If I had a problem with emails hijacking attention they don’t deserve, I’d set up mail rules to shift all but the high priority stuff out of my main inbox view.
Instead, I use message preview and treat email as a stream. I pick out what I want and leave the rest. When I get annoyed by too much “the rest,” I select all and disappear it.
I also have disabled alerts about new messages from all but immediate family, disabled badging on my phone for anything but messages from immediate family, and disabled badging on my laptop entirely.
I regard email as a “when you get to it, if you get to it” communication channel.
