One of the advantages of Gmail is that it doesn't have ANY folders!
Before you exclaim that this makes life too hard let me explain that
it has a better way of filing - any email may have a number (don't
know if there is a limit) of "labels" attached. Think of these as
"folders" - but any given message may be in multiple folders, which
solves many of the filing issues that some mail poses! Takes a little
getting used to, but now I would hate to go back to simple folders.
And of course it has search, and if you click on the name of a contact
you can see all the mail to/from that contact....
