[Evolution] strategies for handling lots of mail

[W Randolph Franklin <wrf+evolution ecse rpi edu>]

Hi,

I'm just switching to evolution, and am interested in reasonable
strategies for handling a large amount of email.   I receive 100
messages a day before deleting spam, most of it mailing lists, and want
to save most nonspam mail forever.

Currently I use fetchmail to dump the mail into MH-style directories,
which evolution sees as MH folders.

Is it reasonable to leave everything in the inbox folder even after it's
read, and just set up a vfolder for each project and correspondant?
Does the vfolder concept break down eventually?   E.g., I've seen the
messages about efficiency concerns dictating that vfolders are not
updated immediately.

What other strategies do people suggest?

Thanks.

/Randolph
