Where an email is from a certain source (e.g. a list) I will first flag it, the have it moved to a separate server-side folder (e.g. "Lists"). I will then set near the top of my menu a Smart Mailbox which will filter that account for flagged messages in the folder Lists. As I read these in the Smart Mailbox, I will unflag them, which will cause them to disappear.

that's about how I menage e-mails to be reviewed. I like a clean inbox, so all emails older than 15 days go in archive. There are two stages in between INBOX and Archive: "Waiting diagnosis" and "Diagnosed". Both are smartboxes; the former shows me all unread, unreplied, unflagged, not-already-categorised messages older than 4 days. Those whose sender I have replied to in the past get flagged and elected to the "Diagnosed" smartbox (which shows me all unread, flagged e-mails). Other mechanisms are also in place to automatically flag "most likely important e-mails".

Given the nature of my correspondence it's a good system to filter out low-priority e-mails and keep up with all the important messages I get within a reasonable time-frame.

I'll let you know if I have any problems.

If I understood your plan correctly, it should work :-)
