How do you use your labels, folders and filters to organise your ProtonMail inbox/archive?
I decided to get Proton Unlimited yesterday and I’ve been trying to organise my emails, but I feel like I have the tendency to accidentally use folders and labels for the same thing so I end up with similarly named labels and folders (oops!), so I’m curious to see how people here organise their mailbox.
I was thinking one folder per alias/account/website, but when I try to add filters I’m reaching that filter limit where I have to wait 24 hours. I tried the sieve filters but, although I’m a decent programmer, it doesn’t feel super intuitive.

I don’t use folders, just labels. This is what I have. All just in the Archive. Most are generic a few are specific to me.
Thanks for sharing! I like your labels! Yesterday I realised that if you archive your emails they are removed from the folders they were originally organised into, and here I was making folders for literally everything. Time to reorganise and utilise labels more. :)
I’ve tried this before but it just leads to me wasting my time with organisation I never need. If I need to take action on it, it stays unread or gets starred; if I need it for reference it stays in the inbox; if I might need it one day in the future it goes to the archive, else it gets deleted. The search seems fine for finding specific emails.
I leave everything that needs action in the Inbox. All other mail I move to Archive.
For the rest I use Search.
I really need to archive my emails more often to prevent my inbox from becoming a cluttered mess. Do you use labels?
No. The content of the e-mail is most of times enough to be found in search.
