I would suggest:

* Set up tags for each project.
* Set up a smart folder for each project/tag.
* Set up custom keybindings for each project/tag that tag the mail and 
archive it.

This way everything arrives in to your inbox. You read the mail and then 
press the key(s) you mapped for that project/tag.

This will tag the mail and archive it, removing it from the inbox. When 
you are done the inbox is empty and all the mail can be viewed it the 
correct project (smart) folder.

If you don't have to many projects you could bind the actions to a 
single key of your choice, like this:

     "a" = ( "setTag:", "Aproject", "archive:" );
     "b" = ( "setTag:", "Bproject", "archive:" );
     "c" = ( "setTag:", "Cproject", "archive:" );
     "d" = ( "setTag:", "Dproject", "archive:" );
     "e" = ( "setTag:", "Eproject", "archive:" );
