And also, just as useful as filtering messages directly into folders is the use of grouping into "threads" or "conversations". This is especially nice for those who don't have time to constantly read the list, as you can come back some time later, and decide to read all the replies at once for a given conversation, or press the delete key just once and not have to read any of them. It really helps counter the argument that we'd be overwhelmed by messages, as it makes deleting many messages at once so easy. But it's not really possible unless you filter these messages into their own folder first, as you likely won't want your inbox done this way.
