I do use the filtering of Gmail, but I remember back when I used a non-GUI client I had all sorts issues with mapping the newly made Gmail directories with folders on my system. I believe you have to configure one each time, which is fine when you don't have to do it too, often but I had given up after the third time. >> I just use a straightforward { editor + MUA + git } stack and go with >> the flow! > > For me it has mostly been this but with some help from tools.
