I've never understood the whole "I can't keep up with my email" thing: I've been using automated filtering since getting my first email address on a Unix-based mail system back in 1989. All these years later and it's still hard to beat piping all your mail through procmail.
And, while email clients don't typically afford you good ways of adding metadata to email, use of email aliases is a partial substitute. If you give everybody you communicate with either a wholly unique email address or just add "+" to the recipient-name, you can then use pretty much any mail client to filter things for you. Having everything go to specific folders is a great way to keep mail manageable.
Note: I've had the same email address September of 1995. When your address is that old, automating your inbound email organization is the only way to keep the address usable.
