Thanks.

No, there is no solution I can think of. It is also not obvious what I 
could do to make a solution possible. The best I can think of would be 
if it was possible to make a smart mailbox only showing messages more 
than x seconds old, but that is going to be non-trivial. The smallest 
unit is currently days, but this is only an approximate measure and it 
would not work well if I simply allowed seconds to be configured.

The straightforward solution would be some preferences value for 
delaying sounds to be played (there is already some coalescing of 
sounds). How long do you think such a delay should be for it to work in 
your case?

No, I'm not quite sure. You cannot make IMAP mailbox aliases, but I 
believe it is possible to have submailboxes dividing the messages of a 
parent mailbox (Lists?) according to their IMAP mailbox. But they cannot 
be used as drag destinations if that is what your are looking for? Maybe 
you should describe the use case in more detail.

Note the “Go to Source” (⌥⌘S) which can be used to jump to the 
IMAP mailbox the currently selected message. Maybe that can help too?
