For over a year now, I've been trying to acquire the ability to review the thread history of a message in my INBOX while still deleting messages as soon as I believe I'm done with them. Suddenly I'm gratified to see that several approaches have been right under my nose all along!
I have recently just switched my Thunderbird to have sent items in the "Inbox" and "in the same folder as the message you are replying to".
The end result is a fairly workable equivalent of the gmail style thing, although you also see Sent messages which haven't had a reply (which may or may not be what you desire, but it's actually my preference for my needs)No need for virtual folders, but support for this to work well may not be in every mail client...
Yeah, I used to do something like that with Gnus. Believe me, I've been through all the simple approaches. The problem is that I really need to practice "Inbox Zero." I need to not see the things I've decided I'm through with (in every mail client I use), and having the client decide I'm through when I've "read" a message is highly prone to accidentally losing things I need to deal with.
