I have the same setup on my local mail program (entourage MAC) with filtered
(sorting) folders for each mailing list as well as my ebay and other
ventures.  

Also as some in the list have noted, I also have multiple email addresses
for different things.  This way mail on the server is also sorted.

May seem strange but I have junk filters off.  I donšt use them.  This is
where having my own domains comes in handy.  An address that suddenly
becomes a spam magnet gets changed.
