I already have to deal with four different ways of reading email
because of accounts that are used for different purposes, and more
web-based forums than I care to count. Splitting one of my inboxes
into multiple folders just makes things worse because it adds more
places I have to look.
I know I'm not the only person who doesn't use folders for this. In
the discussion (on another list) that led to my patch, I wasn't even
the one who first raised the issue of marking subject lines with the
list name.
I suppose if I were getting high-volume mailing lists such as
linux-kernel I would probably break them out into their own folders,
but I typically use gmane newsgroups for those situations (yet another
interface). My inbox only gets low-traffic lists, but I'm subscribed
to quite a few of them.
