Good point, Jim - there are ways that these things can be handled -
how convenient that is, depends a lot on how each person prefers to
handle it. I have to confess that I don't often use mass delete
either - but not because I am anywhere near as organized as you are.
I currently have 85,234 emails in my gmail inbox. At this point, it
is just a river flowing by, and I click on whatever hits me as
interesting or important, and let the rest sail on by, lol! At least
when I need something I still have it, though!

The filters on my home computer move all the list messages from the inbox to their own subsidiary mailboxes; MobileMe syncs that filtering up to its server, then down to my iPhone and my iPad. (I could institute filtering directly on the MobileMe server, but I haven't felt like re-creating 40 specific filters.)
