My e-mail is pretty clean, and every now and then, like maybe once a month, I get down to a totally empty inbox. I don't subscribe to many lists (but more than none), and I reply to important things, and delete sometimes. I use a "pending" tag to move off items where I am waiting for something else to happen. It seems to me that most people don't know how to handle e-mail (which is a serious problem), but it isn't fundamentally broken.
