I agree, however BBDB can still be very helpfull.
What I do is that I split mail into various mailinglist folders and
then I have two folders for the rest.
One folder is for personal mail and I use the BBDB for that. If the
sender has an entry in BBDB, the mail goes to "personal", otherwise
it goes to "misc". This means that I get all important mail separated
from the rest with all the spam winding up in "misc" (and the mailing
list folders).
