Technically you mgith be right, but I have never seen this happen: the
inbox being less safe than any other folder. I always have a couple
hundred to a couple of throusand messages in the inbox. It's for those
senders that do not warrant their own folder.
When the traffic with these senders increases, I will create a folder,
because it annoys me that incoming and outgoing messages are in
seperate folders, this being the major reason.
Everyone has another way of dealing with their inbox. There is
certainly no fixed rule. ;-)

See, and I don't like to have hundreds of folders, much less five feet
deep. As I said, it's a matter of taste.
