The trick with email is to sort it into *many* different
groups.  Each mailing list, each regular correspondant,
topic, or whatever you can figure out how to distinguish
should be tossed to a separate group.  Ultimately there is
a catch all group that gets everything not specifically
selected.

I manually delete the garbage in the catch all group.  I
archive all the others.  For groups with lots of traffic
I put it into an archive and restart the group twice a
year, for others it's once a year, and some of them get
so little traffic that they might have articles that are
several years old...
