the most of this thread is orientated towards filing and organizing
mail EASILY after you have read it.

i find it much easier to have mail do the sorting FOR you upon arrival.
when my mail comes in, the words of the Subject: line are used as
possible mail folders. if i have a folder of that name defined, i use
use it to store the message. If all fail, i use the name of the sender 
(with @... part stripped of).  

i also have daemon that runs while i am logged in to let me know which
folders have been updated.

if interest warrants, i will put in my anon ftp area.
