I'm in the same situation at the parent poster. I have quite a few accounts, and I'd much rather have them dumped into one place with colored highlighting than clicking on different inboxes (I hate having the folder plane on, in the first place). It seems (at least to me) to be much more productive when I can click the pretty colors that tell me when mails are useful/important, than trying to figure out exactly which inbox gets priority (Not that you should take a productivity tip from someone reading/.;P).
That said, I have tried to filter messages into one common folder, and mailed miseribly. The main reason being what you're allowed to filter. The best I was able to come up with is if my address was in the To:, CC:, or related areas. For mailing lists and the like, and some online services, this failed very quickly.
I'd like to see the ability to filter by account, so that I can easily dump personal mails into the same inbox. No mess there, as everything will be dumped that way. Also useful for flagging purposes, say an address for various logs and want them in your normal work inbox.
Then again, I may be missing something that's insanely obvious here. I'll also admit, I haven't tried 0.6 yet. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction?
