Forums vs Mailing Lists

| Actually, how do you do that in Ubuntu's preferred mail client,
| Evolution?

No idea, I don't use evolution, except for the calendar part.  I need
a client which is scriptable, so I use gnus.

| folders on arrival, and it would be nice to have Evolution be able to
| purge old items from those folders automatically, rather than have to
| remember to do it by hand now and again.

You could use Maildir and a a cron script, I guess.  Or write an
evolution plugin which does expiry for you.
