Do you have all the windows tiled, so you can see them all at the same
time? Or are some of them "hidden" underneath or minimized, where you have
to go through that painful step of clicking on something to view them, as I
do to switch to a folder that's not currently in the preview pane? (My
desktop is "only" 2048x1500, so I can't have all my windows on top at the
same time. Maybe if I had a video wall like the one in Back to the
Future....) I find switching folders in email to be no more onerous than
switching tabs in Firefox (and I tend to have a *lot* of tabs open).
An interesting compromise I've seen in some clients is virtual folders:
These implement a saved search expression, so you can dump all your mail
into one Inbox and then view various slices of the data based on a search
expression as if they were filed to separate folders.
