Its too bad this actually makes things worse if you are a heavy mobile user. Since all emails are archived (even those awaiting todo/reply) using this workflow on mobile now requires quite a few navigation points just to see these emails.

In my opinion multiple inboxes leaves the screen looking cluttered anyway.

I was thinking the same thing: how will I use email on my phone?

I use Mailbox for iPhone. I wonder whether one could create Gmail filters that essentially map the Gmail multiple inboxes to custom lists in the Mailbox mobile app (which looks like "label:[mailbox]-later"). The result would make it easier to categorize new mail and to find existing mails.
