For things like mailings and automated messages (like bugzilla
messages), I use physical folders (I recently converted to server-side
procmail filtering because it's easier to automatically process all
lists that way). That keeps my inbox relatively small, and is
essentially guaranteed to get things right.

For sender-based things (like, 'mail from Mom', 'mail from boss') I use
vFolders across all my physical folders.
