Is it necessary? Nah, not at all, however, I get a satisfaction when I get my inbox to zero and make decisions about my emails. Its either, Delete, Archive or Action. It's a good feeling that you are doing stuff now and not putting it off til the next time you go to your inbox. That mindset also got me to unsubscribe from tons of newsletters too, and now I only get essential items, only need to check my mail once a day, and process to zero each time. It works when I get 5 emails a day and when I get 25. I love it.
I press the buttons as I am reading, its simple to hit archive or delete, and would only save a negligible amount of time doing nothing.
