I've never used the sort feature in thunderbird, but I find filtering a must for any kind of searching. I have junk mail filtering taking care of a good 200 messages a day, and then filters for all my lists, and people in my address book sorted to different folders (family/friends/clients/etc)
I used to use sylpheed a while back (I really liked it), but one day I dist-upgraded on debian sarge and didn't feel like compiling it from scratch after it segfaulted, and that's when I found thunderbird. I'm starting to switch to using IMAP over POP (fetchmail all my mail accounts to my home server, so I can store virtually unlimited messages, and then IMAP to home server) The main reason is when I don't have my laptop (pretty rare actually) I have no way of getting messages, so I'm setting up squirrelmail for web based, and mutt on my ssh server for text based e-mail checking. When I finish getting all my mail moved onto my home server, I may try sylpheed again.
