This topic has been discussed several times.
The reasons you mention can be adressed
by a proper organisation of the mail client:
- Most clients are able to show the messages
by thread.
- Most clients are able to filter the messages in
a way that all tomcat messages go in a separate
folder.
- Most clients are able to delete messages with
a given age.
If your client can't do that, it's time to upgrade.
