I have set up folders in my bosses in-box which relate to the organisations that the emails come from or the subject the email refers to (if responses come from various organisations) and then file them accordingly. This way I always have the information to hand, if needed, and as our system auto-archives on a regular basis the folders do not get too large. I find this way works well for me but you may need to adapt it to your situation. I don't know how many emails you receive but a typical day for me is between 50 to 100, depending on what projects are on the go.
I also find it is easier to keep the names of the files in the inbox the same as those that are used for filing other correspondence, for example I have a folder in my bosses inbox called Meetings which is sub-divided into the different meetings she attends and corresponds with the files for the different meetings in her office.
I hope this has been of some help to you.
