Here's what I would recommend (especially since you want the messages a few
mouse clicks away):

Set up sub folders underneath each folder.  Then use Account/Sorting
filters.  Use the Read filter actions.  You can automatically move a
message to the subfolder (or copy and delete). Then, on the sub
folder, put different purging options (max number of messages, or age)
to your heart's content.

This will keep your "working" folders rather small, but archive a lot
of older mail.  Only drawback I can see is that they are still in TB
so loading may take a little longer.  It's a trade off for ease of
access, but still very powerful.

HTH,

Derek
