As a counter point: I use mail.app with multiple IMAP servers, and
several of those accounts have over ten thousand email messages. On one account
I have a single (junk) folder with 18,000 messages (down from 34,000 a week
ago). The only problem I have is with Gmail, where if I delete something it
seems to evaporate rather than going to track/archive.
