Quite frequently. My incoming mail is also 'sorted and saved
automatically' into the places where I read it. However most mail
once read gets deleted. It's only a small proportion that I then save
in a separate 'long term' hierarchy for reference etc. That's when I
sometimes need to create new directories.
I can't keep all my incoming mail because I read my mail on a system
where I have a limited disk space quota. It also means that my saved
mail archives are not so enormous that it's difficult to find things
there.
