Since nearly half the inflow is from two high-traffic lists, only part of which is interesting, I let procmail chuck out stuff I'm not interested in, triggered by subject line.
That's a good work-around for the absence of a "memorized commands" feature in most mail user agents.
News readers typically have "kill files" that ignore articles based on thread, subject line or other user-specified criteria.
Since I haven't weighed in yet: email to *me* goes into my INBOX; public mailing lists (and RSS feeds) go to gmane, which I read via gnus NNTP. That way ML stuff doesn't pop up in front of me unless I explicitly go "OK, break time, let's open gnus". Private (work) mailing lists get put in shared folders on the work mail server, which I look slightly more regularly than gnus :-) I used to run http://cyber.com.au/~twb/.bin/imapbiff to pop up in my GNU screen systray whenever I have stuff in =INBOX, but I keep breaking it and forgetting to fix it. Oh, looking at the source, I think I got huffy because IDLE v1 doesn't support idling over multiple folders at once, and I didn't want to go the k9 route of opening a separate TCP connection for each folder I wanted to watch, so I am sulking until dovecot implements the (currently draft) RFC to fix that.
