Maybe but I'd rather have the system work for me instead of me having to
work at it.  gnus will smartly auto-delete emails for me and will split
(if desired) as well.  In any case, with good searching capabilities, I
find I no longer split much of my email but keep it in a single "group"
(aka folder).  

(I'm not pushing gnus as there are plenty of other alternatives some
people prefer.)
