I don't clear my mailbox. ^^ I'm using GoogleMail for my mailing lists 
and access that using IMAP. Then I've also added filters that 
automatically sort the messages into the correct folders and presto. 
Wunderful. Also if I cancel reading on one computer (my mobile computer) 
and continue reading on my other one (my home computer) I can continue 
where I left of if I've resynced the first computer with GoogleMail 
again. For RSS you need either to use an online service that you can 
access from different computers or you need some additional software 
that can manage the state of your read entries. That is why I have my 
RSS feeds only on one computer.

But enough of that. That's my opinion and personal taste.
