I let my server do the sorting.  It's a lot more powerful than my laptop 
for one thing and more importantly: I use multiple clients and MailMate 
won't necessarily be the first to "see" a message.

Sieve sorts my mail mostly into a mailbox for every mailing list I'm 
subscribed to.  I use MailMate's "smart mailboxes" to bundle related 
lists together with submailboxes giving me access to the individual 
lists without having to dig through the sources.  I'm subscribed to a 
lot of mailing lists I only read when I'm working on certain things (I'm 
too lazy to unsubscribe and disk space is cheap) so I have a smart 
mailbox for "lists I care about at the moment" which I edit when needed.
