Well, except for a select few very,very special ones with account infos etc. whatevers, that I actually want to set aside into a special place. I have a dozen or so folders on my mail box, the inbox has about 6,000 messages, the rest of them combined maybe 30. I consider time spent on categorizing and organizing emails to be a waste - good search tools find the messages faster anyway.

On another note: why can't these bug fixes be pushed out? This seems silly that such a huge bug is causing misery to many users and Nokia is just sitting on the fix. I don't have the N900 but I feel the pain of people who do...my email would be completely unuseable (as it is on the N810). Saving all fixes to one big update seems odd, why not just release individual bug fixes to these sorts of applications. That's what every other Linux distribution would do.
Hey, knock yourself out. But the term "nearly infinite" is usually the first sign of trouble when you're talking about most things computing. An update or a different client might get you to point B, but it's also possible nothing will keep your n900 from being sluggish with 6,000 messages in your Inbox. Unless of course I wrote the app. Good luck.
