All these things that I have done

I use labels for foldering and actually prefer that to the way my Thunderbird is set up at work. About 90% of my mail is tagged on arrival ('Amazon', 'Livejournal', 'Jo', for instance) so all I have to do after reading it is to click on archive and ping! it's in the right place. Whereas I can autofilter mail straight into folders, but then it doesn't start off in the inbox and I have to search through the list to find which folder says it has a new message (I have several levels of nested folders and tend to keep them collapsed so I can see the ones at the bottom without having to scroll down).
