Well, not only for them... It's also for users like you who prefer to
have new emails *only* in the incoming mail folder. Like you use it.

Well uhh, yes I do that too -- that's just my personal email that goes
into the main incoming folder, the list emails all get sorted into their
respective incoming mail folders. I have about 30-50 incoming mail
folders, and get about 2000-4000 emails per week. I couldn't possibly
handle it, if it wasn't for mail-filtering (procmail) and a good MUA
(Mutt!). :-)

I should do that, or something like that.. So far I've not created any
sort of mail archiving setup, except for old sent-mail folders
(automatic archiving via a cron job 4 times a year) and things like
that.

Mikko
