You can use the shortcut pane to some degree with small icons instead of
large ones on large numbers of folders.

You also, if you don't want to use VFolders, can use saved searches.
Thus you build the search that you want to apply to your folder and then
you can choose the search from the popdown menu in the search bar.  It's
something half way in between searches and VFolders in terms of
permanence.

I'm not saying you should change, but I'm curious why you don't want to
have just an INBOX with VFolders.  I find this incredibly convenient in
lots of ways.
