OK, fine. I just filed a bunch of email.

People clean out Sent folders? Really? Huh.
If an email still has a pending task associated with it, it stays in the inbox with a due-date flag. Anything I need to keep as a record goes into a subfolder. Everything else is deleted almost immediately.
I can't handle having unread email. If I don't want to read it, then I delete it.

Yep. If it's important, I archive it; if it's not, I delete it.
No folders is confusing
Firefox and Chrome both support the Folders4Gmail extension.

I used to when I had 100MB of mail storage, back in the dark ages of 3 weeks ago (whence the fact that my entire department started unofficially forwarding everything to gmail.)
I'll move stuff to a sent folder if I want a record on when and to who I sent something, or of the version I sent them. Usually submissions to a client. Otherwise I don't bother with it. But I'm annoyed that our default is now that anything over 30 days gets deleted - being able to grab stuff from there has come in handy any number of occasions.

God, never. I get twitchy at the little envelope indicator, or the light on the BB.
I try to keep my inbox in check, but only periodically do. At which point I go through and delete things I should've, and file everything else in folders, and leave the truly pending stuff in my inbox (I never get to inbox zero), mostly down to about inbox 50. What I DON"T do, and know i SHOULD, is go through my sent mail. That's just a big mess.
Granted, I don't have a high volume of email, so I guess that plays a big part. But I don't even think about my Sent folder.
