I have well over 80,000 emails that I have to keep up with. Makes most mail clients choke and attempting to archive it by hand takes way too much time every day. I have changed clients several times over the years and some have handled filters better than others, so some is organized. some isn't.
I use IMAP, which is great, but it makes searches a bit more difficult. I have about 1.7 gigs between my mail spool and my imap folders. So it is not your average amount of email.
