Yeah, I do almost the same but my rules set different colors on emails where I appear in To or CC. This way I have a quick way of determining the important (To) and perhaps important (CC) from all other emails. I wouldn't want to work with email without these rules.

Nice. In my case, my direct mail load was very low—typically around 3 to 5 emails per day—and anything I was specifically CCed on was just as important for me to read as anything sent to me personally.

Whereas stuff sent to group lists (and other automated mail) was on the order of 10–30 emails per day. Enough to make any "new mail" notifications utterly worthless.
