I had threading and filtering into folders in ancient Eudora and pine over a decade ago¡ I don¡¯t understand how one can manage without it, and how obsolete of an email client it would take not to have that functionality (perhaps off by default, but still easily enable-able). Every modern email reader, whether stand-alone or web-based, threads and filters messages into folders. I really wonder what sort of an antique client it takes not to have that functionality. I don¡¯t see the need to delete any messages either, it seems like useless busywork and a waste of time, since we won¡¯t ever run out of space. The time spent deleting the messages or manually organizing them is more expensive than the storage thus ¡°saved¡±. They compress well, too.
Cheers, Kuba

It looks like you don't understand what mail reader is.
Just remember, there are other OSes than Windoze. There are also text mode
mail clients that doesn't show all those behemytes of stupid html code
automatically. BTW, e-mail was there even before Windoze.
Have you ever happened to look at email headers? Do you think "Me too"
message constitutes a whole percent of the entire email?
Economy nonwithstanding can you explain why anybody would keep many separate
messages instead of one including the entire thread? Do you think one would
enjoy many thousands of messages to navigate through? Do you understand how
many messages e.g. LKML or U-Boot developers' mailing list generates?
Please note that people who are really busy delete _EVERYTHING_ "Me too"
without reading and won't chase any threads unless absolutely necessary.
And no, mail readers don't thread messages.
