I have completely stopped sorting mail in different folders since moving 
to MailMate. I just dump everything in to “Archive” and use the 
smart folders to do all the sorting for me. My archive folder have 
60000+ messages, zero problems.

I can now quickly add and change folders, have mail show up in several 
"folders" at the same time (per company and per project e.g.) and have 
one smart folder that automatically creates sub mailboxes for all my 
mailing lists just to name a few things. Start attaching rules to a 
smart folder and you can do some really advanced mail handling.

I have set up my own key bindings so “i” will select the inbox, 
“a” will archive mail, “d” will delete them, “f” flag them 
and “r” for making a reply. This takes care of most of my mail 
interaction and leaves the inbox empty.
