And I am one of those with separate folders for two reasons, first it makes things easier to see, and I have never had a problem with getting email mixed up, I subscribe to multiple yahoo groups and each one has its own folder which makes it easy to see when there is new email from each group.
Secondly and most important to me I get so much business related email on my Blackberry that by using folders I don't get groups to my BB, and so I can concentrate on business emails and when I check in with my desktop or laptop I can see the groups with messages since the last time I have looked at them. In this case, then, a few spam messages are just easy to delete. I know from experience that spammers don't have to have access to your email account to spoof your email address, since mine has been spoofed multiple time.

I want all my email dumped in one inbox. I'm afraid if it gets sorted to different folders, something's bound to get missed. Just like the mailman puts all my snail mail in one mailbox. Works just fine. Same reason I prefer list servers to forums - I don't want to have to go and look somewhere.
