    Yes. It's exactly the kind of usage I do. I think the folders and
subfolders are meant for that.

    The mails from this list go to my folder Linux/Devuan. I also have
Linux/Debian/Debian-Powerpc, for example. These are on my professional
Imap service, which I'm still allowed to use though retired.

    I also have on the same server Linux/skaware, but, for some reason
this Imap server rejects the mails from that list; therefore I receive
them on my private Imap service and Thunderbird moves them to the folder
on the professional one.

    Something like 20y ago I used Imapfilter, with an associated Lua
program to do that job in the background, but this makes sense only when
you have access to some machine which is constantly running.
