In most cases I use only 1 level, sometimes 2 levels (as with the sent folder) and in one case 3 levels. At the moment I have some 30000 messages in my account (trash folders excluded) and sometimes it is much easier to retrieve a certain message or to browse a folder if you use more than one level. I suppose you also use sometimes subdirectories... Further I find it much easer to have all my sent messages in one group of folders than divided into many different folders that are not part of the same folder.

I don't know any of them, so I can't comment on that...
