I'm not going to be of much help I'm afraid.

I used to keep a number of mailboxes for the various courses I was 
teaching, etc, etc. But I spent more time filing that actually looking 
things up.

For the last 5 years or so I've been using one "Archive" folder (and of 
course the "Sent" folder) and then searching for email when I need them 
(or using the correspondence view in MailMate).

As a complement I use 6 smart folders:

+ Do Now !!!
+ Fix
+ Waiting
+ Reference
+ Read Later
+ Flagged

and then shortcuts to easily set/remove flags as needed.

The only problem with this is that I can't see the smart folders on my 
iPhone/iPad.

This works because I realized that I rarely needed those folders and 
replacing them with searching meant less work for me.
