On the contrary, it seems quite far away in fact. It is certainly intended
to free the main mailbox but also not to stack emails in a complicated
hierarchy of (sub)folders.

It defeats the purpose IMO. Especially since you have to compete in
ingenuity (colors, complicated settings, etc.) to navigate your emails.

suit me since it demands too much effort and discipline to kepe/to
maintain the system
