[MlMt] Grouping mailing lists

[Robert Brenstein]

Have you tried without tagging? Here are more or less the steps to 
follow:

1. create a mailbox “mailinglists”
2. on the tab “mailboxes” check the checkbox “include messages in 
any submailboxes of this mailbox”
3. inside this mailbox, create a separate smart mailbox for each of your 
mailing lists
4. create a mailbox “new mail”
5. set the “mailboxes” tab to have
    all of the following mailboxes
       All Messages (or Inbox)
       None of the following mailboxes
          Mailing lists
I hope the indentation carries through properly as it is critical.
6. You can set on the “Conditions” tab “Message not Read” to see 
only unread messages

The “New Mail” mailbox should show all your mail except those that 
are in your mailinglists.

For 2 and 3, you can use the simpler setup suggested earlier if your 
mailinglists are uniform and can be all identified within a single smart 
mailbox. In my case, for some lists I use List-Id, for others 
from-address, for others to-address, for some I need to additionally 
check for an identifier in the subject.
