I do use a similar layout as the one you describe. Classification is a very lax subject. The are lots of fine ways to do it. I would consider weird the people that file important emails on the Trash (yes, they do), not yours. In case my workflow happens to be useful, what I generally do (for common cases) is to set up filters to move to each final folder. The important part is that the filters are configured not to be applied automatically. In order to archive an email (for which there is a rule set), I only need to press Ctrl+Y, to manually run filters on the selected message(s). Filters that should be applied automatically are setup at the server instead. I do sometimes find the filters a bit limited. For instance if you file per year, it would be useful to have a way to extract the current year (%Y, `date +%Y`...) or even the one of the email. Some cases would be better represented with nested ifs. Or you could even want to file all messages from john inside a subfolder of "john" named as the first word that appears on his subject (assuming that subfolder exists), Ultimately, I think one would need a pluggable filter system, so that a custom program could return the action to be taken with the mail.
