I currently have hundreds of IMAP folders. Now that I have MailMate
I’m wondering, is it better to create IMAP folders, or, better to
create smart mailboxes every time I need a new collection of emails?
As others have pointed out: "it depends".
One more data point to keep in mind is that historically, very
complicated smart folder rules have sometimes been a little slow.
Though Benny invariably manages to make them fast as soon as someone
points it out on the mailing list and supplies enough debugging
information.
I have Sieve do the sorting into IMAP folders on the server and use
MailMate smart folders to show me the relevant messages from several
folders combined (e.g.: mailing lists I care about, active threads in
mailboxes that are not inboxes, etc).
This is the best of both worlds for my workload.
