I've been using Evolution for quite some time now. I use IMAP and keep
most of my email on my server. Over time, I have created a number of
folders (on the server side) and use filters to move mail into those
folders. I'm curious to know if that is the 'best' way to use the
program tho - would I be better off (and I'm not exactly sure what I
mean by that :)) if I just left all the messages in my Inbox and created
VFolders to group messages (I have one folder for this mailing list, one
for Fedora Test messages, one for corporate email etc.). Is there any
reason for choosing one approach over the other?

If you can do server-side filtering of your folders, that would probably be the best approach for you, client-side filtering is at best 'messy'.

And then perhaps some vfolders for, as someone suggested, mail from foo, or for global searching, or whatever.

I did some work which vastly improves vFolder memory footprint on a test branch (mentioned on the blood), but it looks like nobody cared enough to try it out, so i'm not sure i'll care enough to finish it off now.
