One of the first things I do at every job is setup outlook rules to auto forward all those Atlassian, slack, etc auto generated emails to respective folders. I never look at them, it's never a problem. It's amazing the huge effect that reducing the information overload has on one's day to day sanity.

I have to admit that I extended the filters to include email sent to selected distribution groups and from one or two specific colleagues. Also any email that was cc'ed to me from certain other colleagues - the ones who cc loads of people. Got more done that way.

(In a large educational establishment, not IT).

If I could filter them out on Slack. It is a boon for the over-communicators.
