I have an account that handles about 6 mailing lists, each of which filtered into it's own folder. Usually while at work, I let the messages build up, then when I get a minute, I go through all of the folders and sort by thread. I then delete the threads I don't want, and read the rest of the messages one by one. I find with pine I can manoever and manipulate through several mail accounts by using the shortcut keys 5 times faster than any gui based email client.
