I see but what's the purpose of storing mails. I experimented so many 
approaches. In the end, I just get a whole bunch of 
mails-I-will-never-look-at-again with possibly sensible data (private 
informations, invoices, etc.)

I like the idea of multiple account in the first hand but, I do not really 
see the added value.

Inbox zero for me is synonym of 1) comfort, 2) less stress, 3) more 
ecological (what's the point of thousands of messages stored on 
energy-guzzling servers).
In 30 years, I can count on the fingers on my two hands the number of 
times I needed to search/access an archived message, making the whole 
purpose of storing/archiveing pretty unnecessary.

Inbox zero is for me to regain control of my mailbox with good and simple 
habits.
