Here's my usage:

3.2G    Archive
2.1G    CNS-admin
0       inbox
14M     mailing-lists
720K    newsletters
13M     personal
14M     sent-mail

I archive at the end of the month by compressing the mailboxes and
moving it to my Archive folder.  I recently stopped doing this in
January when I moved to GMail.  Hate to admit it, but I like GMail A
LOT.

Not as customisable as mutt, though.
