You can add rules to the Inbox and use rules condition but I find it a 
lot easier to use rules on smart folders.

I first create a smart folder with the criteria I need, in this case to 
catch all mailing-lists.

Condition: list-id -> identifier exist
Submailboxes: list-id -> identifier, name format: 
${list-id.identifier.final-level:/capitalize}

When I have confirmed that the right e-mails are matched I apply the 
needed rules action(s) to the smart folder.

Rules action: Move to mailbox "example"
