i normally take all the mail in my main inbox, and put it in folders if i decide to
preserve it. if i go a while w/o doing that, then i need to do a mass filter
application to move mail to the folders. it's a personal style thing; i have found
over the years that if i sort into folders first thing then i'll start missing stuff
because i don't visit the folders regularly.

it's a facility that Eudora has, and it has its adherents (including me), so i think
i'll put that on my list of learning exercises, even if you do think it's strange.
