best practices for wanderlust+gmail



There are terrific guides to setting up Wanderlust with Gmail. What
I'm missing, though, is best practices for how to *use* Gmail with
Wanderlust given its differences from traditional IMAP. Any thoughts
from those who have been using it for a while would be appreciated.

- Gmail uses labels not folders. How does this impact WL usage? Is it
  typical to use 'O' to set a label, possibly several labels, and then
  archive the message?

- It seems popular to "archive" everything in Gmail (possibly after
  it's labeled). Do wl/Gmail users have a particular setup so that 'o'
  always goes to the archive, or another keystroke?

- Searching (IMAP search) in one giant archive seems like a headache.
  Any setup that makes WL searching more tractable, or do users just
  turn to Gmail's (excellent) online search through their mail?

Thanks!
