The best things in life are free...

...but you can give them to the birds and bees, I want money!

How is that, you give away a kick ass front-end, secure IMAP & POP, more storage space then anyone and a near perfect service and everyone is silently using ad-blockers to prevent you from making money and you accept that. But when there is ONE DAY of availability issues with that kick ass service, people go ape shit and you even apologize!

I would like to thank the gmail team for exceeding all my expectations, consistently.

gmail filter multiple domains

For sometime I have been wondering about how to implement my own idea of a zero inbox, and at the same time keep my filters in gmail clean and mean.

It took me a couple of searches to find the answer. It's simple:
You can separate the domains|names with a vertical bar '|' but not with a comma or the 'OR' operator. Well, actually you can use the good old 'OR' clause but then you need to use the '(' and ')' like so:

Matches: from:((@komplett.nl OR @4launch.nl OR @livinstyle.nl OR @marketing.rackspace.co.uk OR @youthink.com OR @sourceforge.net OR @klm-email.com OR @service.swiss.com OR @dienstmakkers.nl OR @amsterdam.nl OR @honestreporting.com OR @ziki.com OR @opendns.com OR @marketing.rackspace.co.uk OR @enews.sierra-news.com OR @rapidshare.com OR @weekly.gamespy.com OR @nts.nl OR @nintendo-europe.com OR @dienstmakkers.nl OR @ajax.nl @komplett.nl OR @bol.com OR @service.swiss.com OR @sans.org OR @videoland.nl OR @sovereignlife.com OR @amsterdam.nl OR @nts.nl OR @20min.ch OR @ringtonio.nl OR @2dehands.nl OR @4launch.nl OR @klm-email.com OR @davinciteam.com OR @mail.expedia.nl OR @looki.de OR @global-conflict.org OR @i3d.net OR @ebay.de OR @db2.myorc.com OR @mashmaker.intel.com OR @xing.com OR @firebrandtraining.co.uk OR @ipswitchmail.com OR @marktplaats.nl))
Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "XXX"

Nice. Inbox down to (243) unreads that I acually might read, one day... unless they're caught by my 'sorry, no time' filter that somehow flagged the message by triage as "dead wood".
