Set up e-mail filters. Every decent e-mail client supports them. That's is what one does to deal with lots of e-mail. That also solves the "spamming" issue. I am receiving 800+ e-mails a day (with spam filtered out already) and yet my inbox is empty because everything gets sorted out automatically - mailing lists to their own folders, work-related stuff to another folder, private mail has a separate set of folders too. Sorry, but I personally cannot imagine having to chase down 4-5 forums every day to check for new messages for projects I am involved in and then another 2-3 related to the office. That would be simply impossible to keep up with. Forums simply do not work once you have a certain volume of traffic to follow. If this is still not enough, you can always read the list via GMane or something similar and not be subscribed to it. Or create a GMail account just for the list traffic (with great search to boot, forum searches cannot compete with GMail's) and you have a forum-like interface.
