Nonsense... I organize many mailing lists in gmail. You create the filter
to say skip the INBOX and file directly to this label.

Agreed... i felt the same. However once you let go of the "but i *need*
folders" mentality, gmail labels are actually easier and more efficient
than folders.
To take that a step further, I spoke to a Google guy at Educause last
year. He said he doesn't even bother organizing into labels anymore...
whenever he needs something he just searches for it. If the search is
good enough to always find what you need, why waste time trying to
organize it?
Agree with Shannon... IMO gmail is the best free email out there.
