I'm not isdtor, but my approach is:

- read plaintext first, then look at HTML via w3m if it's not
  clear.

- have a vcal to text filter conveniently at hand -- a
  ridiculously large number of people send calendar invites that
  have no mention in the text of when they want to meet.

- have a webmail client available if necessary -- I use this at
  least once a week, but not every day.

- mail on my phone (K9) is solely for interrupts and
  emergencies. I only sync my inbox.

Mutt is by far the best client for dealing with large amounts of
mail that can't be autosorted.
