I am using what can be called pseudo inbox-zero approach. All incoming 
mails are in INBOX except those that are archived, trashed, or else, of 
course. I have a smart mailbox for each mailing list (actually, more 
active mailing lists have their own email address to make things even 
simpler), family, clients, that is anything that is coming in more or 
less regularly and is recognizable. Then I have a smart mailbox that I 
call “unsorted” which contains only those INBOX messages that are in 
none of my targeted smart mailboxes. With my set up, I get like up to 
tops 20 emails in that mailbox per day and it is empty by the end of the 
day. Not a true zero-inbox but the same functionality.
