Why? Don't you know how to use filters in your mail client? I guess you
do know.
I have an inbox for each mailing list, my mail client (actually google
mail) stores each mail from all those lists in its own box.

It has got nothing to do with inbox sorting, it's to be able to easily
change and block off one email address when it ends up on some spam list,
without affecting anything else.

My experience of the last 3 years shows that the spam I get is very low.
Spam escaping Google's spam filter is around 3-4 per week.
Spam in Google's spam folder is between 15-25 per day, but that does
not bother me anyway.

Also I would not change mail addresses just because of spam. For
excessive spam I'd rather use other means like a good spam filter
and/or a tar pit or whatever. I'm not used to let spammers rule my
mail system.

Personally I consider 25 spams/day too high, and last year I changed one account (and not an alternate identity of an account) when I started getting about 50 spams/day. Since I use separate accounts for different purposes, the changes of adresse I had to do were manageable.
Now I'm back to the usual not more than 1 or 2 spams/day per account.
That's my way of not letting spammers rule my system.
Of course, it all depends on personal preferences and circumstances.
