Thanks for the heads up. I like the simplicity of your folder system. While you’re right that search should be sufficient for finding stuff in your archive folder, the full-blown Entourage search function is dog slow, and I can often put my hands on things much faster if I just open the appropriate folder. Plus, I have a fairly refined set of manually-invoked filters that put things where they belong (I prefilter on whether or not a message is read/undread, so unread messages are unaffected).
