I think there are different kinds of mail: news-like mail (from
mailing lists, for instance) and personal mail.  I treat them
differently: news-like mail gets deleted (well, expired) by default
unless I explicitly say otherwise, whereas personal mail is kept by
default.

Do you do this differently?
