Description
Problem
When you get a lot of mails for a lot of (your own or followed) requests it is somewhat hard to keep track of all.
One problem is that there is one mail for each reply and each sent message (even if it is just a reminder mail).
Proposed solution
Could not you use Message IDs for each FOI request n your notification mails? This would allow mail clients to group them together, so I can easily delete all mails for old notifications, as I only need to click the link on the latest mail and read everything there.
Afterwards, I can delete all mails regarding the one case together.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that generates notification mails for FOI requests and read how replies, sent messages, and reminders are handled. Check the relevant mail tests, if present, and verify that notifications for the same request receive a consistent Message-ID relationship that lets mail clients group them together.
