Ok, a philosophical question.... Salvatore Giacinto asked:

Many folks find it useful to have forwarding rules to sort their incoming
mail into various boxes, whether because multiple people share a single box
or just to keep all the IMail Forum mail, for example, separate in its own
mailbox as it comes in. Thus my summary screen shows me my IMAIL box, from
this forum, my SPAMBOX box, the ISP-NT box for that listserv, a few other
boxes, the boxes for the listservs I run, and, of course, my MAIN box for
those messages which aren't dealt with automatically. Which one is my INBOX?
My new messages are already sorted for me by source or function.
