I would add:
- tickler file (the canonical 43 folders, or whatever works for you) for things that don't belong in your inbox now but will belong there at a specific date in the future.

I don't think it matters how you use it, as long as you find it useful! The point is having a simple system that does what you need it to do, not following the Gospel According to The David.
