that's about how I menage e-mails to be reviewed. I like a clean inbox, 
so all emails older than 15 days go in archive. There are two stages in 
between INBOX and Archive: "Waiting diagnosis" and "Diagnosed". Both are 
smartboxes; the former shows me all unread, unreplied, unflagged, 
not-already-categorised messages older than 4 days. Those whose sender I 
have replied to in the past get flagged and elected to the "Diagnosed" 
smartbox (which shows me all unread, flagged e-mails). Other mechanisms 
are also in place to automatically flag "most likely important e-mails".

Given the nature of my correspondence it's a good system to filter out 
low-priority e-mails and keep up with all the important messages I get 
within a reasonable time-frame.

If I understood your plan correctly, it should work :-)
