Create actual distinct IMAP folders for each mailing list and add rules 
to the INBOX to move list messages to the right folders.

Alternatively, just create one IMAP folder for all the list mail, a rule 
to move all list mail there, and have MM split the display of that IMAP 
folder into subfolders by mailing list.

OR, use your existing list-wise smart folders: add rules to them that 
move all new messages to other IMAP folders, either one per list or one 
for all lists.

OR, create a new smart mailbox whose Mailboxes selection is "All of ( 
INBOX, None of ( all of your mailing lists smart mailboxes ))"
