Managing Mail Imperfectly

Khoi Vinh over at Subtraction writes on Managing Mail Imperfectly - is it better to have a complicated hierarchy of folders, and keep filing email all the time, or to have everything in one place, and just search through it all?

    I currently file into folders by hand, but I think this only works becasue I have a relatively small number of emails coming in per day, and I only check them in the evening. So its not a huge workload to quickly move them when they arrive. I think with a higher number of messages coming through it would become more time consuming.

    I use Mail Act-On to do a similar thing; there’s something about a crowded inbox that just irritates me.
