> having to subscribe to a bunch of FOSS email lists at work I appreciate just filling away the mailing lists into a folder for later, way better than Gmail's way with the tags and searching and stuff
Sorry. I feel like I'm bringing up VIM vs. Emacs or something here, but please explain how folders are in any way different from tags and filters.
Why can't you just create a filter that tags your FOSS stuff and then auto-archives it?

- jamie_ca 17y agoIn GMail, a simple slash will nest the tags if you're accessing it from an IMAP client. Also, if you start the tag it'll show up as a subfolder of your inbox. Filtering mailing lists to INBOX/ml/foo, INBOX/ml/bar and auto-archiving works quite well for me.
