I've been using Evolution for quite some time now. I use IMAP and keep
most of my email on my server. Over time, I have created a number of
folders (on the server side) and use filters to move mail into those
folders. I'm curious to know if that is the 'best' way to use the
program tho - would I be better off (and I'm not exactly sure what I
mean by that :)) if I just left all the messages in my Inbox and created
VFolders to group messages (I have one folder for this mailing list, one
for Fedora Test messages, one for corporate email etc.). Is there any
reason for choosing one approach over the other?

Is your IMAP server on localhost, a fast LAN, a slow/busy LAN,
or across the internet?  (Or, does it matter, since Evo locally
caches all email???)

I've got maildrop doing server-side filtering, and have found 
that plain old Search works fine.  And since my IMAP is courier
on localhost, plain old rgrep is adequate for a surprising amount
of search tasks.
