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?
For things like mailings and automated messages (like bugzilla messages), I use physical folders (I recently converted to server-side procmail filtering because it's easier to automatically process all lists that way). That keeps my inbox relatively small, and is essentially guaranteed to get things right. For sender-based things (like, 'mail from Mom', 'mail from boss') I use vFolders across all my physical folders. mike
